 The
Parents for Education Foundation, Inc. (PAREF) has been constituted
as a foundation that provides basic services to schools associated
with it. The parents who have gathered together under the umbrella
of PAREF share basic beliefs. These are as follows:
- Parents have the primary responsibility
of educating their children.
- Total formation has to include
virtues and values inspired by Christian ideals that are actively
and continuously pursued.
- Freedom and responsibility must
go hand in hand in a life of dedicated service to God and others,
especially the underprivileged.
PAREF has a specific approach to
education in that parents are the primary movers in the education
of their children and the teachers perform a collaborative and supportive
role to the parents as inspired by the teachings of Blessed Josemaria
Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei. This is best carried out through
the home-school collaboration approach to education where parents
participate in parent formation activities and all levels of school
management receive personal formation to ensure a mutually supportive
relationship in educating the students. It adopts a personalized
approach to education.
