Academy Of The Pacific Shutting Down Indefinitely

By /
KITV reports The Academy of the Pacific — a small private school that most recently enrolled roughly 30 students — is closing down indefinitely.

The closure is going into effect next school year. The school board’s chair, Barron Guss, attributed the decision to declining enrollment and a growing need among families for financial aid. 

The Alewa Heights school is known for its small teacher-student ratio and alternative learning environments suited for students with special needs such as dyslexia.
