Parents Association members for the 2023-24 school year

Building a Strong Parent Community

When you choose a school for your children, you are also choosing a community for your family. Our goal is to make all families, both new and returning, feel a sense of belonging at ASB. We believe that parents play a vital role in the ASB community and we encourage active parent engagement to help maintain our vibrant learning environment. You will find an abundance of opportunities to get involved at ASB.

ASB Parents Association

The mission of the ASB Parents Association (PA) is to bring joy to the school environment and foster close communication between ASB families and the school. All parents are part of the PA when they enroll their children at the school. The PA has an Executive Committee that organizes a number of memorable events throughout the year. To make each event a success, the PA depends on our dedicated parent volunteers. Other leadership roles within the PA include Class Reps, Division Liaisons and Welcome Ambassadors. All volunteer opportunities are communicated in our weekly school newsletter, The Lantern. Please contact the PA with any questions at pa@asbarcelona.com
