The IE Parent Edge Experience is designed as an immersive and highly curated journey that blends learning, reflection, connection, and cultural discovery.

Over three days, parents engage with IE’s academic ecosystem while sharing a unique milestone alongside their teenager.

This experience goes beyond information sessions.

It invites parents to step into a reflective and strategic space, gaining tools to support their child’s transition to university while also redefining their own role as partners in growth.
