San Diego
PIQE was founded in San Diego. The mission gave birth to our San Diego office, the first of all PIQE regional sites. Since 1987, we continue the mission started by our founders and partnered with parents and our local school to remove barriers that impact our children’s academic success. Our team works together with schools to provide parents the tools to support and advocate for their children.
Today, the San Diego office has served 319 schools in 36 school districts within the counties of San Diego, Imperial, and a portion of Riverside. This office has graduated more than 95,000 parents from PIQE’s programs, thus enhancing the education of nearly 300,000 students.
