We are PLA
Our Educational Philosophy
At Pacific Law Academy, we believe that rigorous academics, meaningful career exploration, and a strong support system prepare students for success in college, careers, and the community.
At PLA, we believe offering a rigorous academic program is critical, as mastery of high-level academics is the foundation for success in both professional careers and higher education. We believe all students have the potential to achieve at high levels.
Enrollment at PLA is based upon students’ interest in public service careers and their willingness to put forth their best efforts in meeting the academic challenges they will face. Each student is encouraged to grow intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially.
We acknowledge the importance of a strong support system. All members of the PLA community are expected to contribute to creating an atmosphere of trust, encouragement, and high expectations.
We assist our students in becoming conscientious members of our community by nurturing their commitment to and responsibility for the society in which they live.
The purpose of exploring public service professions at PLA is to energize and motivate student interest. We nurture that interest by establishing an instructional program that is relevant to students’ career interests.
We believe PLA will continue to play an instrumental role in leading the district toward systemic change in the way students are prepared for their futures.
