Parent Organization
Our essential partners in building a strong school community.
Who We Are
We are a volunteer organization made up of parents, teachers, and administrators who are dedicated to the happiness and successful education of our children so they may flourish as global citizens! We believe every TESSA parent/guardian plays a vital role. We encourage everyone to be a part of our vibrant school community!
What We Do
The Parent Organization plays a vital role in Tessa International School’s community-building efforts. It is the School’s and PTO’s joint mission to build a cohesive, global-minded community and work together to make a difference in every child. We look forward to all parents in every grade volunteering their time and participating in PO events.
