Archer Parent Association
The Archer Parent Association (APA) is a fun and social way for parents to be involved with their daughter’s school. Through meetings, volunteer opportunities, and events, we help foster thoughtful conversations at school and at home while supporting parents as their daughter’s academic and social journey unfolds.

Archer Parent Association Meetings
Held throughout the school year, our APA meetings offer parents a chance to come together and connect in the school environment. We offer ongoing education on issues facing girls today – leadership, resilience, self-esteem, positive body image, digital literacy, and more. Guest speakers include author of Under Pressure Dr. Lisa Damour, author of The Self-Driven Child Dr. Bill Stixrud, founder and president of Culture Reframed Dr. Gail Dines, and members of Archer’s own faculty. Student groups are also invited to perform or present what they are currently learning or working on.

Opportunities for Connection through Volunteering
Volunteering is not only a meaningful way to support Archer and meet new friends, it is a way to show your daughter that you are committed to her education. Our parent volunteers give of their time and energy throughout the year and we offer many volunteer opportunities to fit a wide variety of skills and schedules. -
The Archer Affair
The Archer Affair is the School’s marquee annual fundraising event and an unforgettable evening enjoyed by school families and many other notable supporters of our school community. The evening is a chance to come together to celebrate and support the mission of The Archer School for Girls. Funds raised will go directly to supporting Archer’s operating expenses, including our robust financial aid program. -
Build Lasting Relationships with the Parent Community
The role Parent Community Committee is to strengthen the relationships between parents at Archer. The committee consists of grade-level liaisons who are responsible for planning parent socials, attending school-sponsored events, and supporting Archer families experiencing hardships through Archer Community Cares. -
A Place for Everyone
Archer is committed to a community that supports and recognizes diversity, equity, and inclusion. We currently have three different parent alliance groups: Archer Dads, Parents of Black Archer Students, and Parents of Jewish Archer Students. These groups operate under the APA and work to create ways for the diverse groups to build community within and Archer as a whole.
