Adjustments in students' schedules may also be made to accommodate professional activities. A PCS education fosters independence, self-discipline and respect for the pursuits of others. Our goal is to prepare students not only for college but for any occupation they may choose. PCS alumni include lawyers, educators and physicians, as well as noted actors, composers, dancers, musicians, authors, financiers, engineers, producers and directors. PCS strives in its Middle School to develop basic skills and study habits which will be important tools for high school and beyond.
Small classes allow for individual attention and focus.
The Middle School advisor works closely with students, faculty and parents to assure constant monitoring and remediation when necessary. As students learn to analyze and discuss material, they develop self-confidence, relate to others with different interests, and begin to understand the world outside the school setting. Middle School students have, in addition to their classroom experience, activities including community service, parties, and interactive events. The High School curriculum is challenging, broad-based and prepares our students to enter leading colleges and universities. Physical education or its equivalent is required each year.
