Suzanne Reinfranck: The Pacific Boychoir Academy (PBA) is a unique day school for 4th-8th grade boys. The program offers engaging classes and intensive choral training. My 6th grade son has attended the school since 4th grade and has greatly benefited from the experience. The boy centric curriculum, outstanding teaching staff, phenomenal music training, and small class size have served him well.
Participating in the choir provides real life, cultural, and professional experiences, focus, and discipline. The rigorous performance schedules, international travel, and professionalism the choir requires has positively affected my boy. Since joining PBA he has gained confidence, become more focused, and found a passion for singing and performing. He regularly speaks of his travels abroad with the choir and how they have favorably impacted him. The Pacific Boychoir has given my son the opportunity to excel and become really good at something! Additionally, PBA offers an impressive afterschool program. I highly recommend the school for boys with an interest in music and singing who thrive in a small class size environment

grinchounette: PBA is the ONLY choir school west of the Mississippi. For countless reasons, we are fortunate to live in the Bay Area and here is yet another one, one that you simply cannot find other places: a GREAT -academic program as well as a ONCE IN A LIFETIME opportunity to be a part of a *world-class* boy choir. But don't worry, they're just kids that happen to do amazing things.
It is also an all boys school which, as the accompaniest said recently, "allows these young boys time to grow at their own pace during the sometimes complicated middle school years entering high school with their self-esteem intact."
When you see these silly, 'ordinary' boys perform -like perfect professionals- a piece like Rachmaninoff's Vespers at Grace Cathedral or Cathedral of Christ the Light, it is like nothing else you've ever heard and felt. Come visit and consider this rare opportunity for your son, and you! You will never regret it.

Katy Sharon: The Pacific Boychhoir Academy is a one-of-a-kind and truly amazing organization. Where else can a 10 year-old boy enjoy individualized attention from an engaging and highly accomplished teacher, travel the world performing with a Grammy-winning choir, and build the confidence and sense of responsibility well beyond his years? There isn't anywhere that does this like the Pacific Boychoir Academy. The school delivers on its promise to educate, nurture, challenge, and provide an unparalleled opportunity for its students to be part of something truly world-class. What PBA offers will prepare my son to attend the high-school and college of his choosing and more importantly approach life with the sense that anything is possible.

Katy Sharon: The Pacific Boychoir Academy has absolutely changed my son's life! His is engaged, motivated and experiencing something completely unique. Not only are the academics excellent, but he's also part of an award-winning boychoir - his confidence, sense of teamwork, and responsibility have grown tremendously. His learning differences haven't gotten in the way here - small class size and individualized attention as well as the benefit of a boys focused education has made this an amazing experience.

We commute from San Francisco to enable our son to attend this unique institution. We joined PBA because of the intimate class sizes, excellent faculty, and tremendous music education. What I didn't realize when we joined the school was how much it would enhance our son's sense of confidence and teamwork, spark his intellectual curiosity, and build his social and emotional intelligence.
Nothing will compare to the look of sheer joy on my son's face when I picked him up at the airport after the summer tour with PBA this summer in Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Russia. Behind his smile emerged his new appreciation for other cultures and understanding of what it means to be a member of this vast world in which we live.
