Reach Out
Submit an inquiry form to start a conversation with our Admissions and Co-Executive Director, Liz Casey, about what a PCS education could mean for your child and your family! The form goes directly to Liz, who will reach out upon receipt to talk with you about your child, the school and our approach. She is happy to answer any questions you may have and schedule a time for you to come to campus for a tour and meeting.
Come Visit and Tour
Schedule a tour to visit campus and meet our community. PCS has a vibrant, palpable energy — the buzzing hum of a connected community at work (and play!) — that we invite you to come and experience for yourself.
While on campus you’ll explore our classrooms and outdoor learning spaces, observe classes in session, meet with our Co-Directors Liz and Kathryn, as well as your child’s potential teachers and students from his/her/their class, and get the low-down on PCS life and learning from our student tour guides.
Attend an Event
We would love for you to join us for one of our regular community events!
Celebration of Learning — Our three Celebrations of Learning culminate each trimester's learning around our shared Integrated Studies Unit and are a chance for students to share and showcase a trimester's worth of project-based, inquiry-driven work. The students excitedly welcome their peers, families and friends for guided tours of their multi-media displays, interactive exhibits and documentation of their research. When: December, March, and June.
First Fridays — On the first Friday of each month, PCS classrooms are open in the morning for visits from families. There’s no agenda, no presentations, no pressure— just a chance for families to drop in, spend a little time in the classrooms, peek at some works in progress and maybe enjoy an activity. Families are important partners in children’s learning, especially at a community school, and we want you to feel at home and connected in this space. When: First Friday of each month Sept - June.
Community Coffee — Once a month, Co-Directors Liz and Kathryn host informal discussion groups with families on topics of interest to the community related to education and parenting. Past topics have included: “The Power of Play,” “Teaching Hard History,” “Reggio Emilia: Roots and Current Practices,” and “Screens and Tweens.” When: Monthly, dates TBD.
