Every subject is taught live and one-on-one by its own expert teacher, in a school built entirely around your child. Real teachers, real books, and real depth fill a focused morning or afternoon, and the rest of the day belongs to your family. Families come to Pacific Preparatory, and they stay.
See your child's plan, book a 30-min call
You are looking for an alternative because you know the ordinary path is not right for your child. So you are weighing the options, quietly wondering whether one of them is good enough. Here is what we want you to hear: your child's education should never be a consolation prize.
You were picturing a campus, a building, a drop-off, a commute, but the building was never the point. What matters is whether the education is genuinely built around your child and taught by a real person who knows them. Every subject at Pacific Preparatory is taught one-on-one, live, by a real teacher, and it is tailored completely to your child.
At Pacific Preparatory, we don't settle for good enough. Your child's education is not a consolation prize. It is a world-class education, and it is the future they deserve.
We send the schedule, the teachers, the Zoom links, and the curriculum, all in the mail, and you set up a little school station at home. Real school then happens in one focused block, morning or afternoon, whatever fits your family, and your child goes deep enough to genuinely master the material. When the block is done, the day is theirs: friends, extracurriculars, the sport, the instrument, real rest, a real lunch, time outside, time to travel, and time to simply live, with you, at home, together.
There is no commute, no homework war at 9 p.m., and no more fighting the system for what your child needs. You can hardly believe how aimless school used to feel, and how meaningful it becomes.
Every subject is taught live and one-on-one by your child's own teacher, in a single concentrated block.
The rest of the day fills with friends, extracurriculars, sport, music, rest, real meals, time outside, and travel.
Some children are bright and bored. Some learn differently and have spent years being made to feel like the problem. Most are somewhere in between, capable of far more than a class average ever asks of them. We build the education around the child in front of us, so that each one is measured against their own ceiling and helped to reach it.
This is not AI learning; it is a real teacher and a real student. Your child is not handed one teacher stretched across every subject; they work with a team of specialists, a different expert for each subject, each teaching one-on-one. Because we are online, those experts are the best teachers for your child rather than the best teachers within driving distance, and they know how to meet every child exactly where they are and build the kind of deep, lasting relationships that make a child want to show up. Many of them have taught with us for more than a decade, and all of them are always learning, pursuing ongoing professional development in their subjects, in the science of how children read and think, and in how learners of every kind truly thrive.
We are not preparing your child for a world that runs on conformity. We help them find the spark that is theirs alone, and we give them an education rigorous enough to back it up, so that one day they can walk into any room they choose and know that they belong there.
And you will never have to wonder whether your child is actually learning. We tell you exactly where they stand, and you will always have that information.
They are tech and founder families, families in our Montana and California hubs, families across the East Coast, and families traveling the world with their children. Their children are, in many ways, just kids; what sets these families apart is that they think differently about what an education can be. They could send their children anywhere, and they choose this.
For all of their differences, they share one thing: every single one of their children loves school.
Pacific Preparatory feels like an exhale. Two things tell you almost everything about a school: whether the families stay, and whether the teachers do. Ours do both. Our families come, and they stay, and our teachers have been with us for over a decade. Nobody flees a place that works.
"Pacific Preparatory doesn't just teach to a curriculum. They build rich learning environments that stimulate real curiosity. Our son feels seen. His ideas matter. His curiosity is treated as an asset, not an inconvenience."
You can begin this fall, or you can begin the very day you realize that what you are doing now is not working. You do not have to wait for a bad situation to run its course, and you do not have to wait for September, because we admit students year-round. Come to us whenever you are ready, and we've got you.
On the call, we will map exactly what your child's week would look like here: the subjects, the teachers, and the pace. You will walk away with that plan whether or not you ever enroll. You will talk with Cory Greenberg, our Director of Community Relations, or Molly Tweten, our Director of Admissions, who will get to know your child and tell you honestly whether we are the right fit. If we are not, they will point you somewhere better.
Because every subject is taught one-on-one by its own expert teacher, and each of those teachers carries only a small roster of students, enrollment is limited. The call takes thirty minutes, and there is no pressure.
Full-time programs start at $48,960 per year, and a single-course option is $6,120 per semester, with tiers in between. You can see the full breakdown on our tuition page, and Cory or Molly will help you find the right fit on the call.
Pacific Preparatory is fully accredited K-12, with real transcripts and a real path to college.
Connection and community are built into the one-on-one model, and the schedule flexes around your family rather than the other way around. Full-time students also join a weekly advisory, a small group of Pacific Preparatory students matched by our team, who work together on executive functioning, presentation, and real community-building skills. We also believe that children are truly socialized in the real world, not in a building for seven hours a day, and your child makes friends where their interests actually live: in the extracurriculars and classes they love, in your neighborhood, in a local art studio, with your family, and in advisory.
Yes, and here is why families find that this is the advantage: your child gets the same individual attention without the commute and without seven hours in a building, and the best teacher for them regardless of where you live.
