About KPA

Who We Are

The Tenafly Korean Parents Association (KPA) is dedicated to supporting Korean and Korean American families and students in our school district while sharing and promoting Koreanculture with our community.

Our Mission and Activities

The Tenafly KPA’s mission is to promote goodwill and cooperation between Korean parents in Tenafly and its schools and civic

organizations. Some of our key activities include:

- Support Korean and Korean American Families: We provide resources and guidance to help families navigate the school system, offering language assistance and educational workshops.

- Promote Cultural Awareness: Through events such as Korean Lunar New Year Festival, international week events, and community gatherings, we share the richness of Korean heritage with the entire Tenafly community.

- Build Connections: We facilitate communication between parents, students, school staff, and district administrators, ensuring that every family feels welcomed and heard.

- Empower Students: By providing culturally enriching volunteer opportunities and scholarships to high-achieving students with strong passion for embracing and sharing Korean culture, we help our children thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Some of our recent activities include: sponsoring holiday luncheons for school staff, sponsoring luncheons for the Senior Center, supporting international events at elementary schools, sponsoring scholarships for Tenafly High School students, and hosting an annual Lunar New Year Celebration Event since 2007. The Tenafly KPA consists of an Advisory Board along with KPA officers from all six public schools in the Tenafly district.
