Hello returning APA families and welcome to our new families! Is your child interested in exploring the world and experiencing new and different cultures? If they are, please fill out the link below to get more information about traveling to Europe during the summer of 2026. We will be traveling for 15 days and some of the places we will be visiting are Paris, London, Berlin, and Vienna.

Welcome back APA! We are so excited to welcome cadets back into our buildings tomorrow!! Elementary families, please have patience and give grace tomorrow morning and afternoon in regards to drop-off and pick-up. We have some new staff and new students who will need extra time this first week. Don’t worry, we will become a well-oiled machine as fast as we can. Pre-Academy families, we are WILD about learning this year! We have a special first day planned by Dr. Nahlik, Capt. Trotter, Lt. Ferris, and Lt. Austin where we hope to empower our cadets to change the narrative and begin the school year with a WILD twist, camaraderie building, and a great foundation. Academy families, we know not all schedules are loaded into Skyward. We have our best people working around the clock to make sure everyone has a place to belong tomorrow morning. Lt. Och will greet everyone by the door and homerooms will be posted in the cafeteria and near the cadet entrance so cadets know where to go first thing. We will get them copies of their schedule as soon as we possibly can. If you have any questions, please email your building administrator.
