Provisional Educational Services, Incorporated
Provisional Educational Services, Incorporated, (PESI) is a non-profit tax-exempt educational institution formed in 1984 to offer a variety of educational programs and employment services through the Provisional Accelerated Learning (PAL) Center located at 2450 W. Blake Street in San Bernardino, California.
Our Mission Statement
Provisional Educational Services, Incorporated is committed to provide quality, comprehensive, educational services, with an emphasis on individuality, cultural diversity, and an appreciation for tolerance. These services are provided through the Provisional Accelerated Learning (PAL) Center, a community-based organization, in a non-threatening environment that is easily accessible to residents.
The overarching mission of the PAL Center is to “Reach Out” and help those who need a “hand up.”
The Vision
The PAL Center seeks to improve the quality of students’ lives by “connecting the dots” between students, parents, educators, and the community. The goal is to produce an educational environment that nurtures, excites, and motivates students to learn and realize their potential as members of the global society.
A Dream in the Making
The PAL Center, “A Dream in the Making,” was established to complement and bring comprehensive educational activities and services to the community in a non-threatening environment.
The original idea for the PAL Center rose from the ashes of the Dalton family’s torched and burned cotton gin, general store, and family farm in Arkansas. The idea developed from a vision in 1984, through the years, to today’s reality, and tomorrow’s future.
Statistics show that the dropout population has the highest unemployment rate, the highest crime rate, and the largest percentage of welfare recipients. The PAL Center has specialized in advantaged populations who have overcome injustice, and numerous barriers, in order to succeed.
The mission reflects the unique needs of our diverse learning community, and clearly articulates what we feel students need to know and be able to do upon graduation from high school and during the learning process.
Featured on a 6:00pm Los Angeles Channel 2 newscast, the PAL Center has historically served culturally diverse, at-risk populations with great success. Our students keep pace with the ever-increasing literacy levels required to meet the challenges of daily living. The PAL Center is funded through grants, private donations, in-kind contributions, and volunteers.
With your support the PAL Center can positively influence youth to remain in school, obtain viable employment, and become productive citizens.
