Volunteer Opportunities

The most precious gift we can give our children is the gift of learning, and your decision to bring your child to Silverwood School shows your dedication to your child’s education. At Silverwood, a vital part of delivering the educational experiences that will help shape your child’s future are accomplished through the hard work and involvement of parents, faculty and staff. The Silverwood community is one of the most important assets that the School has, and we encourage all parents to actively participate. Without your commitment to the School and your investment in all students’ futures, Silverwood would not be the unique place of learning and growth we all know and value.

This page lists some of the best ways to get involved; please contact the Silverwood Office for more details.
