Why policies?
Schools are busy and complex systems of people and are created for educating the youth. Families and the community at large expect schools to be safe and effective. The most effective way to create safe and supportive learning environments is through the development and implementation of clear and purposeful school policies.

Parent committee (PTA)
PTA is a group of parents/guardians, teachers, and staff who have kids or work at Jill Schools International. We all have unique skills, ideas, energy levels, and discretionary time, and we work together to make good things happen throughout the year. We want the children to excel and to know success. We want to keep our school heading in the right direction. We want our teachers and staff to feel appreciated. We want to bridge the gap between the school’s needs and the children’s needs rather than individual pupil’s progress.
The purpose of the Jill PTA is to support the education of children by fostering a cooperative relationship between parents, teachers, support staff, school administrators, and the owners of the school.
In addition, we strive to enhance and support the educational experience, develop a close connection between school and home by encouraging parental involvement, and improve the environment at Jill Schools through skills and ideas from different parents who are experts in different fields.
