The teachers and staff at Pioneer definitely foster an intellectual environment in which students can question and think critically, which I believe is an essential part of the learning process. Pioneer Academy provided me with the opportunity to enhance my abilities and push myself further.

Pioneer Academy is truly New Jersey's best kept secret. I can attest that Pioneer is the best that academia has to offer. The teachers are very committed to their students and the curriculum is very challenging. The facilities and labs are top notch. It offers courses that none of the other schools can.
