Who is Parents Unite and
what do we stand for?

Our mission is to ensure that all schools promote a culture that values and prioritizes true diversity of thought, freedom of discourse, and self-expression.

Parents Unite began as a group of parents who care deeply about independent schools and are grateful to have been students, parents, volunteers, and Trustees. Collectively we have noticed a common culture shift in many school communities, independent and public alike. This movement was initiated by our desire to ensure our children's voices are valued, and that they are taught how to think critically and engage in civil discourse. We are all deeply committed to the independent school community in New England, and we all desire to see the work of Parents Unite impact students and families. It is vital to empower parents to use the tools of accreditation and governance to “encourage” education excellence, not indoctrination.
