The Bishop's School community is a partnership of school and family, led by our Parents’ Association (PA). PA volunteers plan and organize more than 50 events to engage and support the School community. Parents are encouraged to become involved - whether they can “do a little or do a lot” - there is an opportunity for each person. The PA holds monthly meetings and in addition to the Association’s business, they often feature remarks by the head of school. The meeting agenda also includes guest speakers who offer insights into School programs or speak about topics of interest for parents of adolescents. Parents who participate in PA projects and events experience first-hand programs that enrich their children’s lives and promote their development. By working with others they help to create the special Bishop’s magic.

Bishop's Visual Arts Community (BVAC) is a hands-on creative group of parents who support the School's visual arts program.  BVAC creates a welcoming, personalized resource for families to engage in visual arts.  Innovation and creativity are key to the visual arts and to BVAC.  

The governance of BVAC strives for equal opportunities in leadership and engagement. Visual arts faculty works with the Community to assemble volunteer opportunities and communicate with BVAC supporters. Throughout the year, there are approximately 10-20 parents who form a team of support; all members of Bishop's community are welcome to participate. The areas of interest include: art installations and receptions; visiting artists; excursion; off-campus events; graphic designers; promotion and communication; documentation; PAC liaison; and art supply management.
