The Pinnacle Academic Resource Center (PARC), a division of The Pinnacle Schools, provides educational services for high school students and young college students.

High School Program- A challenging alternative to the traditional classroom, specializing in educating students in grades 6-12.

College Resource Program- Designed to provide step-by-step assistance with course registration, tutoring and study skills for young college students.

PARC welcomes all types of students. We recognize some students have trouble reaching their potential in a traditional learning environment. We accept students with mild learning differences such as ADD/ADHD There has been great controversy over the existence of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder but if your teen has it, you will feel its effects. These kids may present with difficulty sustaining attention in class and may have problems with short term memory function. Other kids will be in constant motion, unable to sit for any length of time. They will talk out in class and exhibit impulsiveness. Most kids with AD/HD diagnosis will demonstrate both inattentiveness and hyperactive-impulsive behaviors. AD/HD has been shown to be a risk factor for the development of poor academic functioning, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, substance use and a myriad of other behavioral problems. and Asperger's SyndromeAsperger's Syndrome is a mild form of autism. Individuals with Asperger's Syndrome may be very bright and capable, but may also have serious difficulties with social interaction, or have unusually low tolerance for loud noise, bright lights, crowds etc. Because it is relatively mild, Asperger's Syndrome s often diagnosed in older children and adults. It is sometimes called the "Little Professor Syndrome" or "Geek Syndrome."

State-certified teachers help students become independent while building strong academic and problem solving skills. Our academic programs teach to each student's strengths and enable teachers to intercede immediately when conditions indicate help is needed. Close supervision and individual work stations support and motivate students to complete their education. Individual tutoring is available on-line, by telephone and on-site for specific subjects.

PARC programs are designed to support students educationally while building confidence in a safe and positive learning environment.

The Pinnacle Academic Resource Center supports the mission of The Pinnacle Schools by providing an environment of respect, acceptance and challenge where teenagers can become confident, self-directed, educated and contributing members of society.
