TAC PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION

“Without support from home, the school would not be able to reach the goals it has set for its students!
 
Each student of Tarsus American College has two homes and one family. There is an organic bond between the families of students who join TAC and the school. The Parent-Teacher Association which aims to establish an active communication, cooperation and integration between the school and the families is comprised of the school principal, assistant principals, teacher and parent representatives. Further goals of the Parent-Teacher Association at TAC, for particularly the students, are to:

• Reinforce commitment to Atatürk principles and reforms,
• Develop and maintain local and international humanitarian values,
• Enlighten the parents about the educational goals of the school and its academic activities,

• Discourage undesired behavior such as wastefulness, vanity, and misuse of personal property,
• Propose to the School Administration new and useful measures to be taken; support the school in its endeavors, and refrain from decisions which may potentially put the school in a difficult position, 
• Maintain a channel of communication between parents and the school characterized by transparency and openness,
