excellence in education

Nurturing intellectual curiosity, encourag-

sense of moral character and integrity,

promoting an atmosphere of open-mind-

edness and acceptance of others, and

celebrating excellence in all areas of life

– that’s the PA experience.

think. Offering a diverse, well-rounded curriculum, PA serves as a close-knit

learning community dedicated to preparing students academically, socially,

ethically, artistically, and physically for the world that lies before them. Our

classes provide intimate surroundings that enable teachers to encourage

strengths, overcome challenges, and instill in each student a lifelong love for

learning. Our faculty and staff have outstanding credentials and experience to

offer, but more importantly, they bring with them a deep commitment to nur-

turing and guiding young people. The success of our personal style of educa-

tion is reflected in the academic, artistic, and athletic excellence that has made

PA a nationally respected college preparatory school.

expectation of the highest in academic

achievement. It’s a commitment to per-

sonal growth, exploration, and develop-

ment. It’s an unwavering devotion to

bringing out the best in every student.

And it’s a dedication to equipping young

“Offering a diverse, well-rounded curriculum, PA serves as a close-knit learning community dedicated to preparing stu-dents academically, socially, ethically, artistically, and physi-cally for the world that lies before them.”

our faculty

PA faculty encourage students to be open-

minded, creative, intellectually curious,

and self-directed. Students and teachers

work as partners, collaborating both on

a formal and a more personal level, to

create a vibrant learning community in

which students can grow and thrive.

Serving as the bedrock of the school: our teachers. Our dedicated and talented

faculty share a love of learning that inspires and motivates young minds. PA

teachers are passionate about ideas. They believe that education involves

much more than passing along mere facts, figures, and formulas; it’s a way of

life. Our teachers are innovative and proactive. They recognize that each stu-

dent is on his or her unique path to learning. Individualized student attention

helps to create an open, nurturing environment, as well as a strong desire to

learn and the ability to think creatively and analytically.

our students

The evidence is in our students.

Pulaski Academy’s tradition of excellence is

embodied in its students, those preK through

twelfth grade wonders whose potential

knows no bounds, both in learning and in

life. This greatness is further evidenced by

the personal and professional successes of

over three decades of PA graduates. At Pu-

laski Academy, we not only value classroom

achievement, but we promote the impor-

tance of moral character, integrity, leadership,

and social responsibility. PA is a vibrant learn-

ing community that seeks to inspire students

to embark on intellectual journeys leading to

the discovery of themselves and the world

around them.

PA students are capable, motivated, and full

of promise. They come from diverse back-

grounds and are ready and willing to take

advantage of the exceptional educational,

extracurricular, and leadership opportunities

that lie before them. Building on a tradition of

a 100% college acceptance rate, our students

are commited to following in the footsteps

of PA graduates who have moved on to the

most competitive and highly regarded uni-

versities and colleges across the nation.

our curriculum

At Pulaski Academy, we believe that every

child possesses an inherent love of learn-

ing and a joy for discovery. At the heart of

our Early Childhood program is a commit-

ment to innovation and a dedication to

promoting inquiry and exploration.

In the Early Childhood School, each day is a stepping stone to acquiring

the proper foundation for success in PA’s college preparatory curriculum.

Throughout their ECS years, students experiment, collaborate, and solve

problems, all the while building essential cognitive, social, emotional, motor,

perceptual, listening, speaking, and writing skills. The focus of the program

is on development of the total child with an emphasis on high character

standards and moral values.

The Early Childhood curriculum is designed to stimulate young minds in

innovative and exciting ways. The sequential, developmentally appropriate

program carries students from age three through first grade, laying solid

groundwork in the formative years. In addition to such national standard

based courses as Open Court Language, FOSS Science, and Everyday Math,

students attend enrichment classes in Einstein Time, FOSS Science, Spanish,

art, and technology.

ECS faculty believe that children are naturally curious, creative, and eager.

Teachers encourage learning by doing, promote cooperation rather than

competition, and embrace high expectations for the pursuit of educational

excellence. The ECS strives to provide an atmosphere of excitement where

children love school and discover that learning is fun.

PA’s Lower School is a dynamic and energetic place that inspires students to reach their full potential as they discover more about

themselves and the world. LS students engage in learning activities that stimulate them socially, emotionally, physically, and

intellectually as they begin their educational journey. Through such innovative enrichment programs as PATV (a daily television

show in which LS students serve as newscasters, interviewers, writers, and producers) and Think Tank (a unique, weekly learning

opportunity with a gifted and talented specialist), students begin to reason logically and thoughtfully, create with purpose and

originality, and grow with confidence and character. The Lower School strives for balance between a challenging curriculum and

a developmental, exploratory experience. Grade level, self-contained classrooms enable students to participate in a nurturing

learning environment that emphasizes the acquisition of basic skills, the exploration of ideas, and the development of the ability to

work independently.

{grow with confidence and character}

Our Middle School curriculum seeks to

instill confidence and competence during

a time of adolescent growth and change.

The MS environment is both nurturing

and engaging, enabling students to ex-

periment, discover, and evolve.

The pre-teen and early teenage years are ripe with changes, adjustments,

and transformations. Designed specifically to meet the needs of early

adolescents, the PA Middle School curriculum eases students through the

transition from the comfortable, structured environment of Lower School to

the more challenging, true college preparatory experience of Upper School.

The program’s hands-on, experiential approach complements instruction in

the core subject areas with courses in foreign language, technology, physical

education, and the arts. Meanwhile, a number of learning activities take

place outside of the classroom as well—from the annual 6th grade voyage

to Space Camp to the 8th grade adventure at Camp Winnamocka—each

serving as a unique learning opportunity designed to support academic study.

Whether venturing outside of the classroom or engaging in an on-campus

learning experience, MS students enjoy being part of a close-knit community

that supports individuality while also emphasizing the acquisition of critical

academic and life skills.

our curriculum

The PA Upper School offers a dynamic college preparatory curriculum

that encourages students to use their creativity and natural curiosity to

become partners with faculty in the learning adventure. In addition to core

requirements, students can choose from a variety of electives that include

such courses as Film as Literature, Independent Science Research, Theatre

Rep, Model UN, Senior Thesis, Digital Media, Honors International Studies, and

Personal Finance. Twenty Advanced Placement and twelve honors courses

are also available. Outside of the classroom, Upper School students are active

participants in any number of clubs and organizations. Sports teams, music

rehearsals, theatre performances, and other campus activities enable students

and teachers to grow and learn together. Community service is also an integral

part of the US experience. Students must meet service learning requirements

in order to graduate, but most PA students far exceed the minimum. Upper

School students typically complete between 10,000 and 15,000 hours of

community service each year and have been accepted to 147 different

colleges throughout the nation in the last three years.

PA Upper School students strive for excel-

the arts

The arts are a vital component of our

vision for the social development, intel-

lectual growth, and creative expression

of our students. As a part of its efforts to

educate the total person, Pulaski Academy

supports a vibrant culture of visual and

performing arts.

PA’s commitment to the arts is evidenced by the school’s depth of instruction

and wide range of creative opportunities in the areas of music, visual arts, and

theatre. Within this enriching environment, students identify new interests and

cultivate artistic talents, becoming active participants in a journey of inspira-

tion and imagination.

enlighten the mind, enliven the vision

MusicMusic is an essential part of the PA experience. Our goal is to inspire and to

encourage an appreciation for music while enabling students to gain a solid

understanding of musical concepts. Throughout their PA education, students

receive special instruction in ear-training, vocal development, and instrumental

training, giving them the necessary tools and knowledge to become poised

musicians who find joy in the art.

Certified instructors assist and mentor students in all areas of music, whether

that student is a kindergartener preparing for the annual spring musical, a sixth

grader who wishes to play the saxophone, or a senior who hopes to perfect

the tonal quality of his/her singing voice.

Visual ArtsPulaski Academy recognizes that visual arts play

an integral role in the development of young

minds. By engaging in a curriculum rich in art,

students learn to explore their imagination,

unleash their curiosity, and apply their creativity

to any project they undertake.

A student’s artistic vision and appreciation for

visual arts is limitless, especially in the hands of

a passionate, talented teacher. PA’s gifted visual

arts instructors are all experts in their field, as

well as enthusiastic and caring mentors. While

cultivating the talents of each child, they set

high standards for excellence in the arts and promote creative thinking in all

avenues of academic life.

{creative expression}

Alexa Pearce ‘13 art

TheatrePulaski Academy’s theatre curriculum not

only provides Middle and Upper School

students with the opportunity to collaborate

with others on a shared artistic endeavor, but

it teaches them to give and receive meaning-

ful criticism while polishing their analytical

skills. Through the performing arts, students

also learn poise and gain the confidence

needed to become effective public speakers.

Students participate in improvisations, as well

as solo, duet, and ensemble acting. Oppor-

tunities also exist for those more interested

in the behind-the-scenes workings of the-

atre: playwriting, costume and scene design,

props, lighting, theatre makeup, publicity,

stage management, and directing. Finally,

the PA theatre curriculum provides students

with a deep understanding of the history and

practice of theatre as an art form, enabling

students to develop a true appreciation for all

aspects of the theatrical world.

Whether our students pursue the arts professionally, enjoy them as a creative outlet or hobby, or support them in the community, Pulaski Academy cultivates a lifelong apprecia-tion for the creative process.

“Within this enriching environment, students identify new interests and cultivate artistic talents, becoming ac-tive participants in a journey of inspiration and imagination.”

far from EXTRAcurricular

At PA, we believe in the importance of de-

veloping the whole student: intellectually,

emotionally, AND physically. PA coaches

are trainers and mentors, dedicated to cul-

tivating winners who excel on the field, in

the pool, on the court, and—most impor-

tantly—in life.

The Pulaski Academy physical education program not only promotes healthy

competition, but it focuses on the teaching of invaluable lessons in sportsman-

ship, participation, leadership, responsibility, and teamwork. Beginning in our

Early Childhood program, students take part in weekly activities with a certified

physical education specialist who applies the SPARK (Sports, Play, and Recre-

ation for Kids) method to teaching the values of physical education. The SPARK

program focuses on coordination and strengthening of large muscle groups

while also teaching students how to work together, solve problems, and share.

In Lower School, students continue their lessons in physical education with

the aid of the SPARK curriculum. The program not only encourages exploration

and creativity, but it emphasizes the importance of proper form and technique

for generalized skills (e.g. throwing, catching, kicking, striking). Students in

second grade begin to explore movement patterns with a partner to define

movement in relation to another person, shape, or group. By the third grade,

students move while learning fundamental skills involved in such activities as

basketball, soccer, and volleyball. Fourth graders continue to develop motor

skills and an understanding of teamwork as they’re faced with new drills and

challenges, eventually advancing to mastery of small, sided games.

educating the whole student

Katy Allison ‘08 photo

Lessons in physical education continue in Middle School, now with more of

an emphasis on individual and team sports. The curriculum focuses on skill-

building and involves students in a number of new and challenging games,

including flag football, wiffleball, and floor hockey. By the time students reach

7th and 8th grade in Middle School, and throughout their Upper School years,

students have the opportunity to pursue competitive athletics and lifetime

fitness in a variety of ways, all of which emphasize sportsmanship, respect,

commitment, discipline, and cooperation. Athletic opportunities abound for

both males and females and include such sports as football, volleyball, ten-

nis, basketball, swimming, track, and golf. Just as our academic programs are

designed to provide students with a broad range of opportunities to achieve

their potential and build confidence, intellect, and initiative, such is the case

for our athletic program. A host of outstanding faculty members plan and

implement these athletic opportunities, while a community of parents, friends,

alumni, and trustees reinforce them.

and diverse, with options ranging from

With over thirty active clubs and organi-

zations in place, our students are sure to

find that extracurricular niche.

At Pulaski Academy, we recognize that character development does not come

about through classroom instruction alone. Whether attending school dances,

embarking on field trips, serving as yearbook editor, collaborating on school

projects, engaging in a challenging chess match, performing in the spring mu-

sical, or taking part in the annual eleven-day Junior College Trip, PA students

are active participants both on and off campus.

service learning

Service learning is an integral part of the PA experience from three years old

through twelfth grade. Grade level class service projects target local, national,

and world organizations, including the Pulaski County Humane Society, the Ac-

cess School, the Dorcas House, Hope Lodge, Easter Seals, Red Cross, and Heifer

Project International. Through group and individual efforts, students learn

to serve others. And by serving others, they learn about themselves and the

world around them. As a part of their graduation requirement, Upper School

students must complete at least fifteen hours of community service per year

for a total of sixty to graduate. Most PA students far exceed the minimum.

learning to serve, serving to learn

Through our commitment to service, we

seek to heighten our students’ sense of

moral responsibility and awareness of

social problems, while building in them

a feeling of personal fulfillment through

their dedication and caring for others.

Students also participate in rewarding service projects within the school com-

munity by serving as Senior Brothers and Sisters, by volunteering as PA Pals

and Reading Buddies, and by acting as school ambassadors. They also take

part in class projects to clean up campus litter, recycle, and raise and lower the

flags. Through service to others, students develop a sense of civic responsibility

and a lifelong commitment to volunteerism.

We recently more than doubled the size of

our campus! In doing so, we’ve enhanced

the educational opportunities of our

institution while giving rise to limitless

possibilities for our students.

When a school expands its campus size from fifteen to thirty-two acres and

adds over 180,000 square feet of facilities, opportunities abound. With our re-

cent expansion, we offer students a host of new possibilities. A larger campus

translates into enhanced academic and enrichment programs, an expansive

library, a state-of-the-art gym, extensive technology opportunities, a cozy

student café, a sizable bookstore and spirit store, and multiple venues for the

performing arts. Perhaps the most notable results of our expanded campus:

spacious new facilities for our Early Childhood and Lower School. Now there’s

more room for PA youngsters to grow.

A successful PA student is one who will appreciate and take advantage of the

exceptional educational, enrichment, and extracurricular opportunities that

the school has to offer. PA students enjoy challenges. They are both leaders and

team players. They are intellectually curious, and they want to discover more

about themselves and the world around them.

Pulaski Academy provides the perfect balance of academic vigor and accep-

tance of individual learning styles in a vibrant, nurturing environment. And

while we believe in challenging our students academically, we are equally

interested in helping them to evolve into respectful, responsible people of

integrity. PA classrooms are small and intimate, allowing for a great deal of

personal attention and interaction with faculty. Our teachers are truly there for

our students, giving freely of their time, friendship, and support. Graduates of

PA are confident, well-rounded young men and women. Having immersed

themselves in our dynamic curriculum, developed new talents, mastered new

subjects, experienced the rewards of team play, and built friendships to last a

lifetime, they are ready to face their futures.
