All parents who desire to put or keep their children on the road to academic excellence, should read RIISE Roadmap to Independent School Success & Beyond. There are many routes to our common destination, but author Gina Parker-Collins, makes a succinct and compelling case for choosing the independent school path. An indie school veteran parent, Parker Collins, has navigated the road, noted the potholes, identified “road side assistance,” planted sign posts, and paved the way for others to follow. Roadmap is an exceptional guide to inform, direct, assist, assure, and protect other travelers. Study it and keep it in your pocket along the way!
