What's happening?
For hundreds of years, independent schools have been resources for families seeking high-quality education. Many were founded on Judeo-Christian values and principles of excellence, rigor, civil discourse, intellectual challenge, and a relentless pursuit of truth. But things have dramatically changed. In lockstep, independent schools have abandoned their traditions of excellence for new pedagogies that are ideological, conformist, and deeply illiberal.
If you found us, you're probably asking, what happened to my school, and what can I do about it? Parents Unite was formed in 2021 to answer these questions. We are parents, educators, administrators, trustees, and students gravely concerned about the long-term individual and societal impact of these changes. By encouraging viewpoint diversity, we can work to restore independent thinking to independent schools.
