"Education is still a very highly personalized endeavor... kids do better in a smaller school.... There is less alienation, everyone knows their names" Listen to Fred Nathan explain the advantages of a small school.

With small class sizes and low student-teacher ratio, our students have the opportunity to truly engage with their instructors and classmates. Learning occurs because that is the primary focus of both the teachers and students. Our focus is not on getting our students ready for a standardized test, but on ensuring that they truly understand what they are being taught.

Each student is provided individualized attention and an adaptive, personalized curriculum that allows the student to be truly educated -- at his/her academic level. As an engaging school environment, students develop true friendships that extend beyond the classroom and playgrounds.

Learning a Foreign Language in Elementary School is Important and Foreign Language in Elementary School is a wonderful boost for all kids...the world that we need to prepare our children for is filled with multiple languages. Regardless of their career choices or where they may live, it is more probable than ever that they will be communicating and working with people from diverse language and cultural backgrounds. See Judy Martialay's article.

At 4PA, we value diversity of thought and background. One of the ways we embrace that value is through the integration of foreign languages - Mandarin and Spanish. With native mandarin instructors, our goal is for our students to truly master the ability to listen, read, write, and speak Mandarin. Pursuit of AP-level Mandarin is part of the advanced program.
