A PCS Student?

Expectations of Parents

PCS Funding

Is PCS The Right Choice? Are you currently being challenged in school? Would you be proud to be a student at PCS? What is lacking in your current school situation that you think PCS can address? How much agreement is there within your family that PCS is the right school? What are your priorities in choosing a school and how does the PCS mission align with these priorities? Are you willing to give up some of your current activities if they conflict with the primary focus of academics at PCS?
