Founded in 2018, PAFO has quickly become a highly sought-after music program in Southern California. We offer a curriculum that is designed to prepare any student to become a well-rounded musician. We provide numerous opportunities for students to play as a soloist with the orchestra, as well as gain leadership experience within the orchestra. Aside from full orchestra rehearsals, we offer small group and individual tutoring, as well as the option to participate in Chamber Music. Guided by teaching artists, students of different levels are also paired for mentorship opportunities, creating closer bonds between students while learning the indispensable craft of teaching. There are several internship and community service opportunities available. Students can enroll in PAFO as a 5 credit class and may apply to the Pacific Academy Foundation Scholarship. As the resident youth orchestra of the Music to Save Humanity Foundation, PAFO believes in offering music for the greater good and engages in outreach to communities that do not have access to the performing arts including children's hospitals, assisted living facilities, community organizations and foundations that support the blind and disabled all over the world, and more!
