Specifically, in the primary grades the role of parents is to support the lessons and instruction provided by the teachers by reading with the students and assisting with and ensuring the completion of assigned homework. As students approach the upper grades, they are trained to work more independently, gradually becoming less reliant upon parental assistance. Parents shift to roles characterized by encouragement and support as they act as facilitators, consultants, coaches, resource specialists, and cheerleaders. While parents provide guidance, students gain confidence and skill in their ability to work independently, taking responsibility for their assignments and learning. This supportive role continues the opportunity for nurturing and bonding in the relationship as parents and students work together toward a common goal. Parents will have an opportunity to gain a clear understanding of their children's progress, capabilities and teachers' expectations. In this way, each student will receive one-on-one attention and oversight to ensure that every phase of instruction achieves the desired results.

The spirtiual, educational and emotional development of the students is ultimately the responsibility of the parents. They may delegate some of the process in that development to the school. However, they must recognize that they are accountable before God for their personal choices.
