IESBVI Family Summit

Fall, 2026


IESBVI’s Family Summit debuted the spring of 2026, and now IESBVI families can experience it again this fall! Family Summit provides learning, activities, a sense of belonging and connection for participants. A two-and-a-half-hour format provides compressed learning for parents while children benefit from tailgate activities.

“The connections we make with other families are priceless,” said a parent who has benefitted from IESBVI’s family events.

Family Summit is free; registration is required.
