It is a pleasure working with the administration and teachers at Pacifica. I believe we have become a very strong team that works as one. At my previous teaching jobs, the faculty would sit around and just complain or say negative comments about the students. At Pacifica, we will literally talk for hours about the great things are students are doing. I can t say enough about my coworkers. They are all incredible people and talented in education. I am so lucky to be working in an environment like Pacifica. I am continually impressed with the students at Pacifica. It is amazing how gifted they are in the classroom, in athletics, and in the arts. The curriculum is by no means easy, but the students always go above and beyond. They are also great children outside of the classroom and much more mature than other high school students I have dealt with. I love my job because I love working with these outstanding young men and women.
My daughter is a sophmore at Pacifica Christian High School and everyday when she leaves for school I am reassured that we made the right choice in sending her to Pacifica. It is a wonderful feeling to know that your child is excited about her education and is being encouraged every day by teachers and staff. The academics at Pacifica Christian are quite challenging but the kids all seem to flourish. It's just a great enviroment for any child. Go Seawolves!
Our sophomore son came to Pacifica from a very large public middle school, and we were concerned about how he would adjust to the size, which has turned out to be a positive. PCH works hard to be inclusive & welcoming, esp. for freshmen It is not uncommon for a small group of students to be taken to lunch by teachers/administrators to build relationships. Students sense the authentic interest their teachers take in them on all different levels, and therefore are more willing to take risks and step outside their comfort zone. The teaching is excellent & students are encouraged to pursue their personal best, which can be challenging for some, but there are opportunities for extra help. For a smaller school, diverse and extremely well-run programs are offered & your student has a chance to participate in activities they couldn t have @ a larger school.
As an alumni that graduated from Pacifica in 2009 I cannot express how grateful I am to the school and everyone there. They have truly changed my life for the better. Being at Pacifica forced me to stretch myself socially and academically. They encouraged me to grow in my personal faith, something that I was able to do through events such as the all school retreat as well as the great mentors I found in the staff. The courses are rigorous but the teaching staff is one of the best in the West LA area, and I now find myself much more prepared for college than many of my current peers. Not only is Pacifica a great academic institution but the relationships created are deep and long-lasting.PCH is far and away the best four years of my life thus far and I am proud to call myself an alumni.
