The Pacific Boychoir is the East Bay's first boys' school, a school with music at its core that understands boy energy and boys' brains. The PBA's music education is known throughout the world. The academic curriculum is designed with boys in mind, a rigorous program designed to prepare middle school boys for the most demanding high schools. The choir school's graduates that have chosen to apply to independent high schools have been admitted to schools with the most stringent acceptance rates such as:

• College Preparatory School
• The Athenian School
• Bentley School
• Head-Royce School
• Bishop O'Dowd High School
• Interlochen Center for the Arts
• St. Mary's High School
• St. Joseph's High School
• Oakland Tech High School

Admission to the Boychoir Academy for the 2010-2011 year is open to boys in grades 4-8. Admission is based on academic ability and musical potential.

A scholarship program exists to assist those who qualify.

Unless already in the after school program, boys interested in being part of the day school need to audition. The audition is a short, painless process, designed to determine musical potential, not musical ability. In addition to his musical potential, a boy's academic potential is also taken into consideration. For interested families, call the school to schedule a visit.
