The values and morals upheld in the classrooms at PAVE helped me to develop positive characteristics that have made me a successful student. PAVE is special because of its ability to give students opportunities to be leaders and to learn more about their creative capabilities. PAVE does an excellent job mentoring students to prepare them for high school, and supports students in picking a school that meets each student’s unique personality and needs.
