Yes it was primarily just for JW's. We didn't exclude "worldly" kids, but they weren't encouraged either. There is another thread on this topic, do a search for "New World Education Center".

No, sorry... but I taught at the one in Orlando Florida for a couple of years. It was originally called School for the New Order, but was changed to Pal academy. Doesn't exist any more. The society didn't like the idea of it. This was back in the early 80s.

I never attended the school, but I am originally from Tucson, Arizona. I do know of some people who did go to the school and I don't know what became of them. I now live in the Los Angeles area. I do know someone who used to either work at the school or teach there and she is an Ex JW still living in Tucson.

I miss the one other girl in my 5th grade class, Barbara Pagnotta...
