Information Sessions
| Information Session: Information sessions are in-person meetings hosted by one or two PALCS staff members throughout the year and all around the state. They are the best way to find out how the school works, see our school site and sample lessons, learn about the enrollment process, and get helpful answers to any questions you might have for us. We encourage you to attend!
|
||
| Online Information Session: If you cannot attend an information session in person, you can attend one online. Online sessions are presented with the same live chat room technology used by our teachers, so they are a great way to experience PALCS!
|
||
| Open House: An Open House takes place at one of the PALCS offices. You can attend an information session during an open house, meet many teachers and staff members from different departments, and tour our building.
|
||
| Connect Session: A fun “field trip” activity for all families, including an informal meeting with current PALCS families and staff. Staff members are on-hand to answer questions, and PALCS Parents can share insider information about what it is like to work with a PALCS student.
|
||
| Event: A fair, festival or location to meet a PALCS representative, usually at a table or booth. No reservation is required for these events.
|
||
| Traveling Orientation: Special sessions where interested families can fully enroll their student(s) at PALCS on the day of the session. Orientations usually take place at our West Chester and Pittsburgh locations, but may be scheduled around the state based on interest. All orientations are by appointment only and require processed registration packet materials. |
