Junior High

IMG_0838

PCA Junior High School includes grades seven and eight and is designed to give students the spiritual, academic, personal, organizational, and study skills necessary to be successful in high school. Junior High students are expected to maintain high academic standards and are taught by teachers who are schooled in their subject matter. Academic Helps classes are available at lunch several times a week.  The Advance Event at the beginning of the year provides the opportunity for students to know God in a deeper way, have fellowship with others, and begin team-building with their peers.  Students continue to develop a Christ-centered world view though daily Bible study as well as weekly chapels and ministry outreach in the community.

We believe students learn to be leaders, to have character, and to work as a team by participating in sports.  Therefore, students are encouraged to try-out for a sport, even if they have not played before. See the Athletic page for more information.
