WHAT WE DO
A caring community for every family
A link between home and school
The UPTA is a channel for parents to receive information, ask questions and share ideas with the school. Class Parent WeChat groups, run by our Class Coordinator and Parent Representatives, keep every class connected.
All Parents Meetings
Held four times a year, with updates from each program and department and a chance to ask faculty questions and meet other parents. Watch your email for the next date.
Events and celebrations
UPTA volunteers run booths at every large school event, from the Welcome Picnic to IFOL, the biggest event of the year, where our communities share a cultural feast.
Cultural Exchange Workshops
Parents share their cultures with the community, from Japanese tea and mochi to Indian mandala and henna workshops.
Fundraising for school and charity
Funds raised at UPTA events support charity and help improve the school environment and future activities.
Working with school leaders
The UPTA Executive Team meets the Senior Leadership Team regularly to plan events and share feedback from families.
