Welcome to Arroyo Pacific Academy!
Thank you for your interest in our school. I am always excited for the opportunity to meet prospective students and parents who are looking for the right learning environment for their student.
The primary question I am always asked is what does APA offer that is unique among schools? My answer is our focus and dedication to our students’ success, which is achieved by taking a personal approach to each student’s education. We strive to provide a nurturing environment where each student is appreciated and supported. This is accomplished by providing small class sizes and additional assistance for our students in all our programs.
As a part of our mission, we believe a global community best prepares students for the college and career environments of the twenty-first century. We welcome both local and international students to apply to our school. We have an open or rolling admissions program and are able to issue Form I-20.
Financial assistance and scholarships are available for qualified local students.
If you have any questions about Arroyo Pacific Academy, the admissions process, or would like to schedule a visit, please feel free to contact me at admissions@arroyopacific.org.
Sincerely,
Olivia Zhang
Head of Admissions
How to Apply to Arroyo Pacific
We are so excited that you want to apply!
Here are your next steps:
1. Contact us & come visit the campus.
We prefer that you come in person, but we can schedule a
video visit if that is not possible for you. To schedule this:
Give us a call at 626.294.0661
Email us at admissions@arroyopacific.org.
Or, fill out the form below.
If your student is interested in spending a day shadowing
classes, let us know! Our goal is to ensure that we are the right
fit for all our students' unique needs.
2. Apply! Email us your completed:
a. Application Form,
b. Official Transcripts from your previous schools,
c. Immunization Records for your student, and
d. A copy of your student's government ID
Accepted IDs: Birth Certificate, Passport, State ID Card, Driver's License.

3. We will contact you to schedule an interview
and placement test.
Interview: This is a chance for your student to have a direct
conversation with our Principal, Ms. Yen. We like to hear
directly from our students, what they are looking for in a school
and to make sure that they are as a great fit for the culture of
our small school as we are for their educational needs.
Placement Tests: We recognize that every student has unique
strengths and weaknesses, and that grade level alone isn't the
best indicator of a student's abilities. As part of the admission
process, all students must complete a placement test that
covers Math and English concepts ranging from the most
simple phonics and addition, to scientific reading passages,
sophisticated writing, and Calculus. This allows us to best
understand what skills our student come in with and where
there may have been gaps in their previous education.
