Your child left EJM and you’re missing the community?
Welcome to your online hub for keeping in touch with old friends, exploring networking opportunities, and learning about Parents of EJM Alumni upcoming events.
Since 2010, Parents of EJM Alumni (formerly Friends) has been bringing together parents of École Jeannine Manuel’s former students. Inspired by the school’s values, the aim is twofold: to share real world experiences about helping our children navigate the transition to adulthood, as well as to maintain and develop friendship and solidarity outside of parental roles.
Whether your EJM student graduated 20 years ago or is currently preparing for their baccalaureate, don’t hesitate to join us!
