Parents for Education Foundation, Inc. (PAREF) is an educational foundation established by parents that administers schools for basic education in the Philippines, collectively known as PAREF Schools. It owns several single-sex Catholic schools that are closely affiliated with Opus Dei.[1][2]

Profile

[edit]

Founded in 1976, PAREF Schools aim to provide personal integral education to their students. Its core educational philosophy rests on the principle, supported by research, that the fullness of a child's education is effectively realized through the integral formation first of the parents, second of the teachers, the two most influential teachers of children.[3][4]
