Attend a Tour and Shadow Day
We invite boys to spend a “day in the life” at Pacific Boychoir Academy, by joining us for a full school day. Led by grade-level student ambassadors, boys will enjoy a genuine experience of what our day school offers. Meanwhile, parents tour the campus with our Admissions Director, visit in-session classrooms to see our faculty in action, and meet with our Head of School to discuss their desires and concerns and learn more about the compelling personal development experience we offer.
Please contact Peter Kenton, Director of Outreach.
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 will dine with our Music and Day School Faculty, Alumni, current students, and Head of School. After dinner, enjoy an overview of our program presented by our Head of School and 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.
Complete our online RSVP form to claim your seat at the table.
Ask a teacher, coach or youth leader to write a letter of recommendation on your behalf. They may write an original letter, or use the EBISA form. Letters must be submitted directly from the teacher via email to: admissions@pacificboychoir.org
Complete the form and give to an official at your son’s current school. They will send records directly to PBA.
Assessments
Applicants to our day school will be invited to return to PBA for a Placement Interview with our Director of Choral Studies and to complete our academic assessments. We feel strongly that a shadow day and this second visit make our admissions process as comprehensive as possible, allowing prospective families and our team to arrive at fully informed decisions. Following receipt of your application, Pacific Boychoir Academy will contact you to schedule your son’s assessment visit.
