I have been at PALCS for six years, and this school has inverse my life. The flexibility of learning online allows me to participate in the Center for Performing and Fine Arts – a PALCS affiliated schoolhouse. This programme has given me the opportunity to find my passion while existence surrounded past similar-minded artists who share my love for the arts. I can't imagine going anywhere else.

My daughter is a 6th grade, offset twelvemonth PALCS/CPFA student. She loves CPFA and has fabricated the PALCS Honor Whorl each mark period. I think that the advice between teachers, students and parents is corking. My daughter looks forward to the Centre Schoolhouse Connect activities in addition to attending CPFA.
