A twice-exceptional (2e) expert and author states that Pacific Preparatory is “amazing” and “effective” and that the team is making a “huge difference” for a student. Another parent in Fairhaven, MA, reports that her child feels teachers “really know me” and are “actually giving me what I need and want,” and she credits Pacific Preparatory with giving her son back his love of learning. A private college counselor in San Francisco states that Pacific Preparatory is her “go-to service provider” for one-on-one academic instruction and notes that a student who completed all four years of high school through Pacific Preparatory is now studying at a top 10 college. A San Francisco parent describes Pacific Preparatory as the most exceptional organization her family has come across and highlights instructors who were deeply knowledgeable, passionate, and devoted to teaching, as well as a leadership team she found incredibly responsive.
