Brandon, who's in the 5th grade, discovered the piano 2 years ago and has made so much progress. He's been taking lessons off and on due to moving and the pandemic. His first teacher noticed that he has perfect pitch, which helps him play by ear. He practices constantly because he loves music! He's had a few months of guitar lessons and wants to continue with guitar also next year along with possibly learning the cello or violin, if he has time. He loves movie scores and wants to work in the movie industry someday.

He's amazing! We can't wait to see what you do with your talent Brandon! Fabulous job!

The Schoolwide Learner Outcomes are goals that we have for the students at Pacific Coast Academy. By receiving an education with us, our goal is that by the time a student graduates high school, the SLOs will be incorporated into a student's life.

One goal, as educators, is to help our students become independent in their learning and thinking. Let us know how you support this or observe this in your students.

Let's Investigate:

Independent Critical Thinkers

Independent critical thinkers who have the ability to problem-solve, take ownership, and apply their knowledge to a variety of problems.

Wondering where to locate PCA's SLOs? Click here!

Please share how you have observed students becoming or demonstrating the ability to be independent critical thinkers below!
