Good Dads
Strong Schools

Encouraging fathers to be more engaged in their child’s education benefits parents, children and teachers alike. Research shows that a father’s participation in his children’s education can improve many areas of life.‍ Strong Schools is expressly targeted at fathers, and the program sends the clear message that father involvement is imperative to a child’s education. It allows fathers to make meaningful connections with their kids and with other dads in a low-risk, casual atmosphere, where conversation and bonding are encouraged.

Research shows that dads make a big difference in a child’s education, too. Kids with actively involved fathers are more likely to have stronger verbal skills, have fewer behavior problems in school, get better grades, show an increase in curiosity and show increased problem-solving skills.
