I really like how the school sounds and I would love if I can get accepted to your school and I would love if I could find my passion here

Archer School for Girls is a reason to move to LA. Fantastic educational journey from excellent & passionate teachers, administrators and support staff. Our daughter just graduated and loved every minute of her seven years as an Archer panther!

Archer is a magical place which encourages girls to be fearless when it comes to their education. The most fantastic and unique aspect of the school would be the faculty. The teachers inspire students to be curious and ambitious learners. Students build close relationships with their advisors, mentors, and teachers-- relationships that often continue after graduation. Now that I am in college, I realize how remarkable Archer truly is, and how special the faculty are as well. The majority of my Archer teachers rival the brilliance, passion, and dedication of my college professors, something that makes me miss the school even more.
