Bright Eager And Responsible Students

The Los Penasquitos Academy is a school-within-a-school established in July of 2000 with an initial fourth and fifth grade class.  The Academy is a unique 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade magnet program where families choose to have their child attend school for two additional hours each school day and an extra three weeks during the summer.  This time allows for added emphasis on literacy, science, math, and community building.  Our literacy time is extended by 40 minutes each day.  Science occurs 60 minutes each day.  We also dedicate a portion of our time to develop a culture of teamwork and camaraderie.  An integral component to the success of our program is a strong emphasis on developing the student as a responsible, respectful person.

Shopwithscrip.com is another fantastic resource for fundraising.
A family can buy gift cards to stores they already shop out and the Academy Foundation will receive 4% of that money.  So, if a family buys a $100 gift card to Albertson's, the Academy receives $4.  The Foundation enrollment code is: FB21L7BA18L62
