If you’re considering a 1:1 education model like Pacific Preparatory, parents worry that without the daily interactions of a traditional classroom, their child might miss out on essential social development. But let’s pause and rethink what healthy socialization really looks like. Does a traditional classroom actually provide the kind of social experiences we want for our children?

Cramming is like trying to eat an entire pizza in one bite—it just doesn’t work. Overloading the brain with too much information at once makes it harder to retain and apply what’s been learned. According to the American Psychological Association, spaced repetition—reviewing material over time—is far more effective for long-term memory than last-minute cramming.

Rejecting the "pay-to-play" model, our school prioritizes teaching practices over marketing strategies. The virtual learning format enhances focused time on tasks, equipping students with tools for success through real-time observation and tailored instruction. Pacific Preparatory's challenging yet balanced curriculum, multidimensional instructional approach, and adherence to the science of reading and math set it apart as an academically rigorous institution dedicated to preparing students for a lifetime of critical thinking and success.

While many teachers and parents know that middle and high school students benefit from executive functioning support, we have also found that college freshmen benefit from it as well. Newly tasked with navigating an academic environment without the majority of their previous tools, college freshmen thrive when paired with a coach and an advocate who can, among other things, help them set and track goals, manage their time, and cultivate resilience.

At the end of the fall semester, our community came together to celebrate all our students’ hard work in our first ever Fall Showcase. We created a virtual bulletin board highlighting particular projects and allowing other students, families, teachers and administrators to leave comments. Students were thrilled to see what their peers have been up to!
