The
Mission of PCA
 Prattville Christian Academy
is a private, independently incorporated organization dedicated
solely to providing Christian education and related services in
the Prattville/Millbrook area. Prattville
Christian Academy is independently run by
a nine-person school board and is not led, managed or funded by
any one Church.
It
is the mission of Prattville Christian Academy to glorify God by
inspiring qualified students to excel academically, physically
and spiritually, thereby preparing them for future success,
whether in higher education or other endeavors. To read more about the
purpose and direction of PCA, read the

Funding
 Unlike some private schools, our funding
does not come from a large foundation that dictates our
decisions. Instead, we are exclusively funded by tuition and
fees gathered from students and by private donations from people
like you who are interested in developing a strong Christian
school in our area. This helps us to be more flexible and
responsive to the needs immediately facing our students and
their families.
Grades
Grades K-4 through 12th grade are being offered.
Goals
Our goals are simple and straightforward: to provide quality,
Bible-based
education in a wholesome environment; to
nurture the spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and
physical growth of each student; and to prepare qualified
students for the future without preference to race or national
origin.
-
We seek to provide a quality,
Bible-based education in a wholesome environment. Our
children's minds are expanding and filling with information at
an extraordinary rate. Unfortunately, many find themselves
hindered by today's public education environment. Our goal is
to foster learning in a place where children's horizons can
expand without the distractions that sometimes accompany the
educational experience. At PCA, the focus is on personal
excellence, individual attention, and godliness. It has been
our experience that when priorities are in place, learning
flows freely and naturally.
-
We seek to nurture the spiritual,
intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth of each
student. Our educational goals for PCA students are
multi-dimensional. It is not enough simply to teach children
information. We must try to develop the whole child. We
believe that learning in a Christian environment helps to
fulfill not only academic needs, but also promotes
self-awareness, confidence, and a strong conviction to live
for God. These qualities are hallmarks of the well-adjusted
child, and it is what we strive for at PCA every day.
-
We seek to prepare qualified students
for the future without reference to race or national origin.
Jesus taught and lived unconditional love for all people,
regardless of their ethnic backgrounds. That is our goal at
PCA.
Our Teachers
Caring, State-Certified Teachers are foremost among the many
benefits that a PCA education can provide. PCA has been blessed
to attract the interest of some of the most talented and devoted
Christian teachers in this area. From this group, we have chosen
those teachers whose hearts and minds were most completely
focused on helping children to obtain maximum results not only
in the classroom, but also in life. Much has been asked of this
faculty, and they have delivered every time. With a tremendous
combination of youth and experience, we believe that our
teachers are second to none.
Our Course
of Study
The PCA
course of study uses various curriculums including traditional
classes in math, language arts, social studies, and science. We
utilize recognized curriculum taught with a Christian perspective,
which demonstrates quality and structural flexibility. In
addition to core academics, PCA offers instruction in physical
education and the liberal arts, such as music, art, drama, and
foreign language. Bible class, as well as chapel, is part of
each student’s day. Prattville Christian Academy does not offer
a special education program.
Student Progress
Our Students'
Progress is one of our highest priorities. Our teachers are not
as concerned with where a student is, as with where that student
is going and the efforts being made to get there. Grades are
sent home with the students four times per year, every nine
weeks. Standardized tests help evaluate progress in key areas.
Our teachers closely monitor each student's progress and
conduct, and can be expected to send parents interim reports and
request periodic parent-teacher conferences. These additional
points of communication are not only to notify parents of
problems, but may also be to provide encouragement or share
joyful news. Either way, parent-teacher communication is a
valuable tool for our teachers, who deeply appreciate and share
in parents' concern for their children.
Our Hope is that you share our
excitement as we anticipate the growth of Prattville Christian
Academy in the 2006-2007 school year and for years to come. We
are looking for students from families who share our dreams for
this community and are willing to join us in our quest to make
those dreams a reality. If you are interested in making
PCA the school for your children, please call. We are available
at (334) 285-0077
