Events and Organizations

Founded in 1978, Paideia’s BPO stands as the oldest formally organized Black Parents Organization at an Atlanta-area independent school. The mission of the BPO is to support Black/African American and African Diaspora families at Paideia by building connections and encouraging active engagement and participation in the broader Paideia community. BPO serves to advocate and support on behalf of Black students and their families at Paideia and aims to amplify an awareness of the Black experience at Paideia and in the greater Atlanta area.

Composed of Latin American parents, children and other members of the Paideia community, this group celebrates Latino culture and families at Paideia. Our major annual event, the Paideia Latino Heritage Celebration, includes a Day of the Dead altar competition, food, dancing, and live music. Our lively, informal family gatherings typically take place twice a year.

The mission of the Paideia Asia Society (PAS) is to promote and celebrate Asian American and Pacific Island identity and culture; elevate the voices of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders within the Paideia community; and support The Paideia School to be diverse, safe, and inclusive.

Founded in 2023, the Paideia Islamic Heritage Community (PIHC) was formed to serve as a nucleus for resources, guidance and camaraderie for Muslim parents, parents of Muslim children and anyone interested in respectfully learning about the rich tapestry of Islamic traditions. PIHC will host annual events that help the broader Paideia community celebrate Islamic heritage such as Ramadan gatherings and celebrations of culture, poetry and art.

Paideia's inaugural Jewish family affinity group seeks to cultivate a community where Pi families can celebrate and connect through Jewish traditions and identity. The group welcomes anyone who self-identifies as Jewish, has a Jewish partner, is raising a Jewish child, or simply enjoys or wants to learn more about Jewish culture and traditions. 

Rainbow Pi is a community of parents, allies, faculty, and staff members across the Paideia School campus who celebrate the school's diversity.  The group provides both social and emotional support for students, families, and staff on campus and we strive to work on fostering both understanding and acceptance of  LGBTQIA+  people within the larger Paideia community. Anyone affiliated with Paideia is welcomed, respected, valued, and affirmed into Rainbow Pi regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.
