Lifelong learning
At Aurora we believe in lifelong learning and that extends to the parents and guardians of our students. During the school year we host a variety of events designed to delve into areas of interest for our adult community.
Many are open to the public and quite often, the Aurora staff participate in their own workshops on the same topics.
Below is a list of organizations Aurora partners with for parent and staff education. We cover a wide range of topics including; diversity, gender identity, adoption, differentiated instruction, and progressive education.
Working together side-by-side
