Learning does not end at the classroom door. All children can become successful learners when their efforts are supported by the school, home, and community environments. Parent Academic Resources Incorporated (PARI) believes that out of these three support structures, the parent remains a child's most important teacher. To this end PARI, a 501(c)(3) educational corporation, is committed to helping parents, parent organizations, schools, and communities promote effective learning in the home. Studies have been able to correlate parental support of schoolwork at home with improved student achievement. Yet, it has also been shown that parents tend to become less involved with their child's schooling after the elementary years. Busy schedules, a child's growing sense of independence, and a parent's
Comfort level with increasingly complex schoolwork, are all impediments to effective parent involvement in middle school and high school. PARI aims to empower parents during their children's adolescent years, increase parent involvement, and ultimately foster high levels of student learning.
