My son has attended PDC for 3 years and has attended the summer camps since 2019. PDC provides a safe, small, highly interactive, and nurturing environment for all of the children. Our son transitioned to PDC from another school that was not as much of a fit for him. In the 3 years he has been with PDC he has truly blossomed and matured into a very capable and independent teenager. The school operates in a very hands-on and interactive way. The children have many opportunities throughout the day to move, exercise, and express themselves whether it's through yoga, martial arts, hikes, field trips, or gymnastic classes. Education-wise, they have a wonderful staff that truly cares and supports not only the children but their families as well. PDC very much individualizes its curriculum for each child and makes adjustments based on the children's needs and interests. They also very much include attention to life skills such as cooking, cleaning, public speaking, and social skills. PDC is a very empowering place for neuro-divergent children. Lastly, the school actively works to keep the tuition very reasonable as most schools of this nature charge you 2 to 3 times more than PDC. I highly recommend this little-known diamond in the rough that was founded by two innovative and caring educators who created an affordable and out-of-the-box school for near-divergent children. We love this place!
