PCA

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why should I invest in a Christian education for my child?

    It's all about worldview! Public Education curriculums are based upon a secular humanistic worldview. This worldview makes no room for a loving God in our world or in the life of a child. At PCA, we instill God's perspective on our world, into the heart and mind of each student.

  • Will PCA provide my child with a quality education?

    Absolutely! PCA students, along with the students of most Christian Schools, consistently perform higher academically than Public School students. PCA uses Christian based, advanced curricula that challenge students to excel. 84% of PCA graduates enter college as opposed to the national average of 68%.
