We've been sending our son to PCA since elementary school. We knew we wanted a strong academic…read moreprogram and the full breadth of extracurricular activities (sports, theater, etc.). And we wanted both of those things laid on a Christian foundation that upheld basic tenets of character formation. It was a challenge for us financially and geographically, but after trying it out that first year, it became clear that PCA was able to deliver on what we wanted, and more. Our son thrived academically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. They quickly advanced him in the academic areas in which he demonstrated giftedness so that he continued to be challenged. Regular conversations around the importance of persisting (in the face of boredom, subject matter that's challenging, lack of personal interest), developing healthy habits of mind, flexible thinking and more contribute to a child's growth beyond the textbooks. Now in Junior High, we're seeing our son being given opportunities to lead and to serve. We appreciate being treated as partners with the teachers and administration in our son's education. The teachers, principal and head of school all make themselves available for conversations. And I love that the teachers reach out with recognition of "good stuff" our son is doing before contacting us about infractions. We love the setting of the school...open green space, beautiful river, small classroom sizes. Yes, we make sacrifices to send our son to PCA, but seeing first-hand the "product" they turn out makes it all worth it. We would do it again in a heartbeat.

This school goes above and beyond to promote a healthy and safe place for your children. We were at…read morethe school for over 5 years and have recently "graduated" to public Kindergarten. They don't cut corners and have a full range of creative ways to help the children learn and grow. The preschool and school room teachers are exceptional. Both my daughters were more than ready for public school education. The outdoor play areas are large and have a very natural feel to them... They go out every day, sometimes several times a day and they do that year round. The classrooms are always changing with projects and paint and a liveliness that makes a parent feel good about trusting their children in these caretakers hands. Truly a wonderful school.
