For and by parents,
at the service of well-being and
success of all children
We defend and assert the rights of parents IN a spirit of collaboration, always with the aim of optimizing and improving OUR school system.
- The RCPAQ is the voice of French and English-speaking parents from the public school system of their regions.

- By supporting and informing parents and parent committees, RCPAQ promotes, values, facilitates and encourages parental involvement in the Quebec school environment, as well as the role of parents in their children’s education.

telephone or e-mail support for parents. - Representation to MEQ, government,
school authorities, partners and the media. - Training and information: guides, conferences,

We have built into our structure and operations a respect for the different social and cultural contexts and local issues that define our parent committees members.
Each can take orientations and positions that reflect their values and aspirations in the specific context of their community.
