Palo Alto Preparatory School Reviews
Rating 4.45 out of 5 22 reviews
PAP is a very special school. The staff and educators are there because they love what they do and they are genuinely interested in helping every child see their true potential. Our son has blossomed academically, improved his self confidence tremendously, learned to control his anxiety and branched out socially. We feel so fortunate to have the opportunity for our child to learn in this supportive environment and feel it will alter the trajectory of his future. Thank you PAP team!
My child went to Palo Alto Preparatory for 2 years and I'm so thankful that she did. Everyone says the teenage years are tough, that is especially true when you have a child who is disillusioned from feeling overwhelmed and ignored in public school. Once my daughter settled at Palo Alto Preparatory, I knew we were in for something different. The teachers supported her so much and she actually started to understand and even like Math for the first time in years. When you see your child begin to enjoy school, that's a gift that is priceless.
PAP is an accepting school that emphasized my mental health over my academics. The only way I was able to succeed in school was due to success with my mental health, and I would not have achieved my confidence and resilience if it weren’t for PAP. Thank you to everyone who works here, you made me who I am today. You prioritized my happiness over my grades, and I had never been to a school like that before. It led to my complete success. My social anxiety lessened, my academic competence improved, and most important I experienced confidence in myself I hadn’t felt before. I’ve now graduated from a UC school and I owe it all to Palo Alto Prep. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you all. I forever thank you.
