Families: our most important team
We know that parents are their daughters’ first and most important educators and naturally want the best for them. The school supports them in this role.
At Alegra, we work closely with families through regular communication with each pupil’s mentor, learning opportunities and support for parents, and above all by listening to their needs. The school is an extension of each pupil’s family life.

Mentorship
Parents are their daughters’ first educators and play the leading role in their education. At Alegra, this partnership takes shape through our Mentorship Programme.
Each family is assigned a mentor who supports the pupil’s academic and personal development in partnership with her parents. The mentor meets regularly with the pupil and at least once a term with the family to develop a personal plan for growth together.
Class Parents
Class Parents (MECs) support the families in their class, help them feel part of the community and provide a close link between school and home. They welcome new couples, answer everyday questions and help each class become a real family.

APA
Parents play a central role in school life. The Parents’ Association (APA) fosters a family atmosphere, shares your suggestions with the school and organises events that bring the whole community together throughout the year, including the pilgrimage, ski trip and golf tournament.
APA Pilgrimage
An outdoor gathering that brings together families from across the school every year.
Ski Trip
A family weekend in the snow organised by the Parents’ Association.
Pilgrimages
Every year, Alegra families make a pilgrimage to Fátima. The trip is especially intended for families whose daughters are making their First Holy Communion, but it is open to all families at the school.
In previous years, Alegra has organised trips to the Holy Land for school families: sailing on the Sea of Galilee, visiting Bethlehem, the River Jordan and the Holy Sepulchre… seeing for yourself the places where Jesus of Nazareth lived.
Rome. In June 2026, we had the joy of travelling to welcome the Pope.
