Here is what they are saying about PCA...

“My daughter has been going to PAL Charter Academy High School for 3 years now, and I love the events and opportunities she has received. The trips the school goes on as a group are making me jealous in comparison to what I experienced at my traditional high school. The trade preparation programs are what I am really appreciative of, with this new AI world, in her case Cosmetology, even if that doesn’t end up being her main career, having something that she can do on the side that she enjoys is really reassuring.”

“I’ve loved this charter school ever since I started in middle school! They offer education plans from middle school to adult education, with some online options. The campus is always clean and safe. There is a no tolerance rule for bullying, which helps keep the campus safe, as well as security checking bags for weapons. This school has students of many different backgrounds and takes pride in providing education to anyone regardless of level of education.”

“What I like about PAL Charter academy is that they try to work with your schedule.  So if you work or have a child at home they have different programs to work around your schedule. They also have a great way of showing support and if you need extra help the teacher is always there to help you.  They have smaller class sizes so each student can get the assistance they need and the teachers walk all around the classroom to ask if you need assistance . There is nothing I would change about the PAL center because it’s great as it is.”
