Parent Teacher Partnership (PTP)
Parent involvement is vital to the operation of ASA and keeping tuition rates as reasonable as possible. When parents enroll their children at ASA, they commit to volunteer 20 hours of their time to the school each year (10 hours for parents of half-day students).
“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.”
~ Elizabeth Andrew
