Schools PBA Graduates have Attended
We develop scholars, artists and gentlemen.
Our Mission is to develop curious, creative, and empathetic young people through a rigorous, individualized and immersive academic and musical education.
Our Vision is to build a community where every youth is challenged and inspired toward exceptional academic, musical and personal growth.
The GRAMMY Award-winning Pacific Boychoir offers Bay Area boys exceptional performance opportunities, worldwide travel, collaborations with professional powerhouses, and ambassadorial experiences that build a compelling journey of personal development.
Pacific Boychoir offers After School choirs for boys grades Pre-K through high school. Our Sorella choir provides PBA’s exceptional music education in a separate choir for girls grades 2-12.
PBA is a richly diverse community that focuses on excellence in music and all other pursuits — to grow our young students and choristers into confident, committed and creative young leaders.
Day School boys comprise PBA’s featured Troubadors ensemble. These boy choristers in grades 2-8 sing and study music 2 hours a day as part of their academic curriculum.
Day School graduates often continue to sing in the Troubadors ensemble. These high-school boys rehearse at PBA weekly —contributing their exceptionally trained voices to our Troubadors concert choir.
