The Admissions Team is coming to Tysons on Friday, November 6, and we would love to sit down with you and your family.
Pacific Preparatory is a Cognia-accredited online K-12 school. Every student learns through 1:1 live instruction that is built around that child, rather than asking the child to fit a school environment. Families can enroll full-time, add a single course, or work with our tutors for academic support, test prep, and enrichment. Our small team of real people takes the time to get to know each student well.
We tend to be a good fit for students who have not been well served by traditional school. That includes kids with learning differences, kids who need more flexibility in how and when they learn, and kids who are ready to move faster than their classroom allows. If your child is bright but struggling, or capable but unhappy, we would be glad to see how we could help.
We are offering free 20-minute, in-person conversations, with no cost and no obligation. You are welcome to come with questions, or just to tell us about your child and see whether we might be a good fit.

Friday, November 6, 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. 
Barrel + Bushel, 7901 Tysons One Plaza, Tysons, VA
Spaces are limited, and you can reserve a time here: <a href="https://www.pacificpreparatory.org/scheduling/admissions-dc-metro" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.pacificpreparatory.org/scheduling/admissions-dc-metro</a>
If Thursday in North Bethesda would be easier, we will be there as well. And if you can’t make either day but would like to talk, I’m glad to arrange a phone or Zoom call at <a href="mailto:cory@pacificpreparatory.org">cory@pacificpreparatory.org</a>.
We hope to meet you!

Director of Community Relations, Pacific Preparatory
