School District of Philadelphia is relaunching its Parent and Family University
Posted by School District of Philadelphia on October 7, 2025
The School District of Philadelphia’s Parent and Family University will provide civic engagement, financial literacy, and other resources for participating schools’ caregivers and parents.
The program provides unique learning opportunities, said Monique Braxton, a spokesperson for The School District of Philadelphia
“It’s so important that we engage with our parents and also invite our parents to be a part, because, after all, parents are our students’ first teachers,” she said.
The program, which was launched back in 2009, offered several in-person classes on topics such as homework assistance for children, education continuation and parent-faculty relationships. In 2015, the program was phased out.
The new program will launch on October 14 in participating schools.
