My 7 year old started at PCA in K-5. My 4 year old has startee K-4 this year. I agree this school is very structured and admit to joking that it's like stepping into the "Twilight Zone" or "Steppford" when on campus because of how well-groomed, clean, organized, predictable, and structured the school is. All of the teacher's tones of voices are similar and their handwritting is indistinguishable. I do not agree with all of their beliefs; but you cannot beat their curriculum. the A Beka program has a international demand. i do not agree with one commentor who says they are all about the money. My 7 year old tuition is $205 per month. I have not found many private schools whose tuition is that cheap and offer the premium curriculum they offer. His monthly bill totals to $410 per month. This includes: tuition, lunch, private weekly piano lessons, and extended school day care. If I sent him to public school my monthly costs for the same "services" would cost approximately: $385.
