We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've gone to school here for three years and the teachers are some of the best I've ever experienced and there is a lot of activities to do after school. There are a lot of school events and trips and these are ran by the teachers and they really care about the school.

Pelham Preparatory Academy is a small school, we share half a floor. It is a great school and resources are always there but you have to reach out.

The school is grand. You'll at least find 2 staff members who actually pay attention to a struggling student, will listen to them, and provide help for those who would obviously want and appreciate it. Sports, clubs and other afterschool activities are pretty abundant. Students need work, as all schools do, but that's an easy fix. Majority of staff are kind/polite and helpful.
