    Our Promise to You

    Studies show that parental involvement in education not only boosts the child’s interest in education, but strengthens the tie between parent and child.  NBHE was created first of all to inspire parents with the idea that they can empower their children for excellence, and secondly to give them the tools to do so.  NBHE continually provides free information and training resources to parents.
