Montrose believes that education is the primary responsibility of parents and enlists their cooperation and support in helping each girl reach her potential.

To achieve this goal Montrose asks parents to:
• augment at home the virtues and ideals taught at school
• meet with their daughter's advisor twice a year
• support the school's programs and its development

The Parent Socials at Montrose fosters friendship, communication, and cultural enrichment among new and veteran Montrose families. Parent Enrichment Committee sponsors social gatherings and guest speakers to support parents as they strive to fulfill their responsibilities as the primary educators of their children.
