Melanie Goodwin's Company Details
PACT (Parents, Children and Teachers) was established in 1996 as a personal initiative of parents and educators to operate schools and other educational projects which assist parents in their task as the primary educators of their children. The founders of the PACT Schools have introduced into the UK an individualised system of education implemented in many schools throughout the world. This system of education was developed in Europe in the 1950s when parents were encouraged by Saint Josemaría Escrivá, Founder of Opus Dei, to exercise greater responsibility in the education of their children. There are now more than a hundred such schools, the fruit of personal initiative, in operation on the five continents. PACT maintains professional contact with many of these schools. PACT founded Oakwood School in 1996, a co-educational prep school. Since then three other schools have been established throughout the south of London: Oliver House Co-Ed Prep School in Clapham, The Cedars for Boys 11-18 yrs in South Croydon, and The Laurels for girls 11-18yrs in Clapham.
