We offer independent studies with a multitude of elective pathways to allow each student to get the most out of his or her individual experience. Pacific Sands Academy encourages creative thinking and lateral thinking by providing a student body of innovative, empowered young adults. We offer an independent studies program based on your student's interests, passions, and goals. When students have freedom and choice in their education, they find a new love of learning that doesn't look like a traditional school.
