Welcome from President and Head of School Matt Walsh

Welcome to PA and our web site! As you peruse our web site, I invite you to consider that….

• PA’s Vision to be the “leader in innovative education” and our Mission “to inspire students to explore, create, contribute, and achieve” drive everything that we do.

 

• We seek an exciting and relevant balance among the traditional 3 R’s (Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic), digital literacy, and the 21st Century skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, creativity, and cross-cultural understanding. Click here for more information about our Vision, Mission, and Strategic Plan.

 

• PA embraces all faiths, races, and cultures and occupies a unique space in Little Rock as the only 2.5 year old through grade 12, independent, non-sectarian school.

 

• We are committed to excellence and high achievement in academics, fine arts, and athletics. Click here to explore our programs.

 

• Our faculty meet students where they are and guide them to make the most of their natural gifts in an environment that is challenging, supportive, and exciting all at the same time! Click here to meet some of our alumni.

 

• Our faculty and staff go above and beyond to communicate proactively with our families so that student progress can be encouraged and sustained, setbacks can be minimized, and minor issues can be quickly settled before they become bigger problems.

 
I strongly encourage a personal visit to PA. A web site, no matter how thorough, cannot adequately convey the warmth, inclusiveness, care, and concern that students and their families experience here. We look forward to seeing you soon.
 
Sincerely yours,
Matthew J. Walsh
President and Head of School
