Attend an Orientation
You and your child will have an opportunity to meet with your child's teacher to help ease your child's transition into P.P.M.A. This orientation (ages 15 months-5-years-old) is a time for you and your child to explore the classroom and get to know the teacher.

Peaceful Pathways has renewed my daughter's love of learning. She was withering in a traditional school environment with timed tests and worksheets, feeling like she wasn't smart and losing the natural curiosity that children have. Moving her to Peaceful Pathways is one of the best decisions of my life. I get teary writing this. She blossomed again with the freedom to pursue curiosities that PPMA fosters. The first time I visited the elementary classroom a few months after the move, she was doing hands-on math with other students, holding a guinea pig in her lap and bubbling with joy. A few years ago, she was having trouble with 60-second math memorization tests in the traditional setting, and now she's doing algebra and memorizing excerpts from Shakespeare. Beyond that, the teachers help shape the students socially, as well as academically. I can't recommend the school strongly enough. I wish it went through senior year.
