PA has been such a blessing for my family. One of my kids has had some learning and developmental issues that were identified and patiently dealt with by the staff there. I don't think things would have been handled half as well in the public school system.

I also appreciate the diversity of opportunities at PA. Whether your child is a jock/artist/nerd/drama nut/budding scientist, there is a place for him here. No one area of learning is discounted in favor of another.

The PA families also reflect diversity. There is a wide variety of religions, races, incomes, nationalities, and backgrounds represented in the student body. Anyone who would tell you differently hasn't spent much time there recently.

Besides being a parent, I'm also a regular substitute for all grades at PA. I see for myself the level of skill and commitment of the teachers there. They challenge the students, and demand a lot from them, but they also care deeply about them. When I spend time in the high school classrooms, I see the result of this. I see young men and women who are bright, well-rounded, respectful, and happy. That's all I need to see to know that PA is an excellent choice for my family.
