Are you weighing the cost of private school tuition and wondering what the public schools have to offer?
"PEN helped me find a terrific school for my son...
- in fact, it helped me find several! And now that we're in a school, PEN continues to be an invaluable resource. PEN helped me become part of one of the most important communities my family will ever belong to."
- PEN Parent Jodie Lee, with son Sammy
Have you heard people say that public schools are not an option in Pasadena, Altadena, or Sierra Madre?
"I didn't think public schools were an option here...
"... My husband went to public schools, but I grew up attending private schools – and I didn't think public was a viable option here in Pasadena. PEN let us see what PUSD schools were really like, introduced us to other families in similar circumstances, and helped us figure out Open Enrollment. PEN helped us find the right school for our whole family!"
- PEN Parent Liz Sanchez Jackson with sons Miles and Cole
Before you decide where to educate your children, educate yourself!
"We are so grateful to PEN!
"Before PEN, we thought that PUSD schools were not an option... Now they are our first option. We are so grateful to PEN for taking the stress out of choosing an elementary school.”"
- The Griffith family
