International Day of Families (May 15, 2025)

International Day of Families, celebrated on May 15, 2025, is a chance for schools and communities to recognize the essential role families play in shaping children's lives and learning experiences. This year's theme, “Family-Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development,” invites us to think about how schools can work more closely with families to build stronger, more inclusive communities and help students appreciate the diversity around them while strengthening their connection to home and school.

When families are actively involved in school life, students tend to thrive both academically and emotionally. International Day of Families is a valuable reminder that when schools and families work together, the whole community benefits.
