It’s a comfortableness, a feeling of acceptance and an overwhelming warmth that comes from knowing you belong. It’s everyone working together to communicate and collaborate every day. Each classroom at PNA is its own little community, with daily interactions of encouragement, acceptance and support.
Community is a place where students are given the space to come into their own, with ready supporting hands there to help when needed. Where critical thinking and creativity are enhanced by collaboration and communication.

Community is also a place where a four year old enthusiastically greets her older sister’s teacher, where a Middle School teacher engages in a lively conversation with a third grader, where students from grades 2-8 come together to discuss and collaborate each Monday with the Head of School. Where the kids know the teachers and the teachers know the kids. Where parents play an active role in their children’s education, their support manifested in a multitude of ways.
K-8 Teambuilding Outing
Here at PNA students of all ages are part of the community. They teach each other, help each other and look out for each other. That is the power of community.
