Parent Link

The Dwight School Seoul Parent Link is a lively and active part of the classroom and school
community. Parent Link is composed of teacher nominated parent volunteers who represent
each class. A minimum of one English speaker and a maximum of two parents are required per
class. These Parent Link groups are split into Upper School Parent Link and Lower School
Parent link and meet with the Dwight School Seoul Principals monthly.

Parent Link representatives exist as a liaison group between classroom parents,
the teacher and the Principal to help build and maintain a strong and thriving
classroom and school community. Parent Link Mission Statement
