Attend a Tour and Shadow Day
Rising 3rd to 8th grade boys are invited to spend a “day in the life” at Pacific Boychoir Academy, by joining us for a shadow visit. Led by grade-level student ambassadors, boys will experience academic & music classes, giving them a true sense of the PBA experience. Meanwhile, parents tour the campus, visiting in-session classrooms to see our faculty in action, and have the opportunity to discuss their desires and concerns with our Admissions Director. Truly a unique opportunity to discover the compelling personal development experience we offer.
Complete our online RSVP Form to visit.
Join us for Monday Night Dinner
We invite you to step into a long-standing tradition at PBA, Monday Night Dinner with our concert & touring choir, the Troubadors. Bring your boy and join us for a light supper where you’ll dine with Music and Day School Faculty, Alumni, current students, and our Head of School. After dinner, enjoy an overview of our program presented by our Executive Director, Dean of Academics and learn more about the admissions process from our Admissions Director.
As an added highlight, guests will visit an in-session rehearsal of our Varsity Troubadors and their high school counterparts, the Changed Voice & Continuum choristers, providing a wonderful opportunity to see what our Day School has to offer your boy long-term.
