Our Global Community
Engaging Families in
Supporting the UNIS Mission, Together
Welcome to UNIS! Families are invited to engage with the Parents’ Association, collaborating with school administrators, faculty, and staff to help create the best possible environment for students and their families to thrive. The UNIS Parents’ Association (UNIS PA) plays a vital role in our global community, connecting families and staff to support the UNIS mission at every level.
Over 2,000 UNIS parents participate in the Parents’ Association, which helps provide vibrant cultural events for students like the International Food and Fun Fair, Deepavali the Festival of Lights, and many more.
Role of the UNIS PA
Organize and support events that foster community spirit and create a welcoming, inclusive environment for all.
Promote meaningful collaboration between parents and school administration to amplify the priorities and perspectives of families.
Assist with fundraising and outreach, ensuring UNIS PA funds are thoughtfully used to support programs that benefit all students.
How to Participate
All parents are automatically welcomed into the UNIS Parents’ Association (PA) upon joining the UNIS community, giving them the opportunity to participate in monthly meetings and events. The involvement of parents and families is essential to the success of UNIS, and we encourage all members to engage in ways that suit their interests and availability. Parents can also join a PA Committee that aligns with their passions, allowing them to focus their support on specific areas of school life.

More than just an event, it is a reflection of the international spirit that defines UNIS and the traditions that unite us across cultures and generations.
