The primary instructor, Edel Kunkel, exhibited all of the qualities of one that truly understands the Montessori methodology. We liked it so much that we sent all three of my children there. My youngest will 'graduate' from 9th grade soon and we will move on, but keep the fond memories! The staff all exhibit the true Montessori spirit and successfully pass that along to the children.

This school teaching that homophobia is okay, is not acceptable and just appalling.

Our child has been attending PCA now for 2 years and we could not be more pleased. The teachers and…read moreadministration are very invested in the students and their education. It is amazing to see the teachers so invested in their students for the greater good for their education and walk with Christ. I have seen our child flourish and grow in all areas of his education. If your child is accelling in a subject they allow him/her to continue to grow and if they need additional help they support them and take the time needed for them to grasp the concepts. I also appreciate how they put the responsibility of the child's action good or bad on the child and help the child understand what is right from wrong such as courteousy to others rather than teaching through punishment and embarrassment.These children are learning to be good citizens and followers of Christ. The school has a well balanced program and passionate teachers. The headmaster, Dr. Shin, is very passionate and dedicated to the school. The school does require you to have one parent who is a believer in Christ to ensure your child gets exposure at school and at home to the Bible. We highly recommend PCA.

My wife and I are Christians and believe in the Redemptive power of following Christ's teachings,…read moreand the infinite nature of His love for All. We considered sending one of our children to Providence Christian Academy, but ended up walking out during a Pharisee-Like interview with its Headmaster, Mr. Shin. Mr. Shin actually did us a huge favor, as he revealed both his outer and his inner self to us that day. Interestingly, Mr. Shin only considers Baptists to be Christians, and the School should actually be called Providence Baptist Academy. We toured the school and found its physical infrastructure simple and adequate. We arrived in the afternoon, and it was a bit troubling to see around 30 children in an unsupervised setting in the cafeteria. I would have expected to see classes or instruction, but instead saw children entertaining themselves in a large municipal space. After the tour, we were told that Mr. Shin likes to meet all prospective parents. Mr. Shin began the interview by asking us the nature of our faith and belief. He then recounted his odd conversion story, telling us that he had previously been an atheist. Eventually he decided to become a believer. Subsequently during the time his wife was putting him through seminary (away from home), she developed a gambling problem. He asked her to stop gambling, but when she didn't, he leveraged her credit card debt to divorce her and gain 'sole custody' of their children. He paid back this debt, and became involved in a ministry, but that didn't work out well, so he decided to open a school instead. Missing from his story was any mention of Jesus Christ, Christ's love for us, and how we can improve ourselves by following Christ's teachings. During our interview, Mr. Shin asked where we attended church, announcing to us that because we were not Baptists we are not 'true Christians' and would not be going to Heaven. At this point we walked out of the interview, since it had become obvious that this was not a school where we would want to send our children. Our understanding of Christ's message is that it is intended for all Mankind. We did not experience that compassion from Mr. Shin. We would not want our children exposed to Mr. Shin's narrow interpretation of Christ's love. Instead of hearing Paul's message, we were confronted with the message of Saul. It is unfortunate that someone who 'self labels' themselves as a Christian has such a limited understanding of the nature of Christ's teachings. We are so fortunate that our children will not be subjected to this narrow and limited interpretation of Christ's message. It is unfortunate that Google does not allow us to give zero stars in a review.
