Knowledge - Challenge - Integrity - Diversity
Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year, everyone! I hope the summer break is refreshing for all of you. It's hard to believe that the school year will be starting in 2 weeks! We are so excited to get back into the swing of things for this academic year, see all of our returning students and meet the new incoming students. I am truly honored to welcome you back. We are happy to see that you are a part of our result driven and determined learning community. For those newly joining us, welcome to the Pioneer family! It’s yet another exciting year for the Pioneer Academy’ students, staff and families building on the success of the recent years.

Pioneer Acceptance
Pioneer Academy has a deep tradition of serving as a college prep school, with a proven record of excellence. Harvard, Brown & UPenn in the past. This year, once again – 2 of Pioneer Academy’s students were accepted to Princeton University out of a graduating class of 31. I would like you to take a few seconds and see your child in those students. Our success, as a community, will be your success in the near future.
As educators, we deeply care about our students. It is my goal to ensure that all students are educated, happy and safe, so they may reach their full potential. There is a clear direct correlation between the happiness of a student and his or her academic performance. Our school motto is that " Success is not the key to happiness, happiness is the key to success."
At Pioneer Academy, we understand that education is about guiding and supporting young people on a pathway of success: my staff and I are confident that each child in our care will unlock and realize that potential and indeed, aspire beyond with our support. We also recognize that education is a shared responsibility between family and school and we truly value the partnership that we forge with our parents.
"Education does not change the world.
Education changes people, People change the world."
Paulo Freire – Philosopher and Educator
Please know, I work tirelessly to ensure all your children have the best possible experiences while at Pioneer. I eagerly look forward to personally greeting students and families again. It remains an honor and privilege to serve as your principal. Together, I know we will make this school year one of growth and achievement for all children.
Once again, welcome back! Let's make it another great year at Pioneer Academy. I wish you a successful 2019/2020 school year at Pioneer Academy.
