Welcome to Common Ground Speaks!

At Common Ground Speaks, we unite the parent associations of independent schools across Central and Northern New Jersey to create a collaborative and enriching community. Our mission is to provide engaging, educational, and inspiring resources that empower parents, educators, and students alike.

Through speaker series events featuring experts in parenting, child development, and education, we foster meaningful dialogue and shared learning. Together, we aim to build stronger connections and a deeper understanding within our schools and beyond.

Be part of our journey to grow, learn, and inspire one another as a community.
