Our child is in Kindergarden at PA. She attended K-4 there last year. The Early Childhood Center (ECC) teachers focus on the joy of learning and on the school's core values. They sing songs about respect and integrity. Our daughter has blossomed there and we will keep her at PA as long as we are here in LR. We hope she is developing life long friendships.
As a student at PA for the past year, I have found that while the school offers exceptional academics, it is not the place to go if you enjoy racial tolerance. In twelve months I have heard enough racial slurs/comments to last me a lifetime, and the lack of diversity only makes matters worse. Many of those students who are not racist are ignorant and do not wish to learn anything about other cultures. In short, parents who want their children to recieve a quality education without sacrificing their children's exposure to different races should consider looking into another school.
My son graduated in 2003 with an outstanding education. He was very well prepared for a private college that is ranked in the top 20 nationally and received a academic scholarship worth over $125,000. PA has a wonderful atmosphere where academic achievement gives a student status instead of marking them for ridicule. My daughter attends there now and is also very happy with a wonderful group of friends and excellent grades. Both of my children have played in their sports program it is also outstanding.
My first son graduated in 2000, started at a private university with over 30 college credit hours and a full paid academic scholarship, my second son graduated in 2003 and is attending a state university on a scholarship, my third child will graduate in 2004 with honors and scholarships. All three are prepared for college, the first two claim that college is so easy. We spent their college fund at the primary level, but, they have confidence and the base to be successful. They also got the honors and scholarships to pay for college.
