TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN:
Do you know someone that has a TK student? Are you looking for a TK option? PAC is offering TK this fall as a distance learning option. INDEPENDENT LEARNING: Are you interested in a home school learning option for your student? Placer Academy is offering Independent Learning as an option in these uncertain times. Our home-based program will provide students with the same rigorous curriculum at the same pace as our in-class programs, making for a seamless transition back into the classroom when appropriate. Additionally, Placer Academy will provide all the curriculum, a Chromebook, and a licensed teacher to support your student. |
