METROFAMILY’S 2025 Learning Guide
As local parents navigate a state with some well- documented challenges in education, we believe it’s imperative for families to also understand that we have a wealth of educational opportunities available to us. In addition to offering excellent public, private, charter and online school options, our community provides enriching programs, tutoring support, field trips and opportunities for families to learn together. As we acknowledge the need for powerful, positive change in our education system, we also commend the people and organizations (especially our teachers!) doing the work to help our students grow academically and as great humans. Whether you’re looking for a preschool, ways to celebrate Black History Month or STEAM programs to pique your child’s interest, this guide will connect you to the metro’s best educational resources. Let’s take advantage of the incredible local resources available to us — and let’s work together to foster an environment where all children can thrive!
