Annette Eskind Institute of Learning at Currey Ingram Academy
For 15 years, Currey Ingram has partnered with parents, families and professionals through our community outreach program, first called PACES (Parents and Community Educational Supports) and then changed to FACES (Family and Community Educational Supports) to broaden its focus. This is a cornerstone of our mission. Each year, we offer sessions on a variety of topics to help participants better understand child and adolescent development and how children learn. The majority of sessions are led by Currey Ingram Academy experts; however, for medical topics, we work with local experts and in some cases national experts.
