Athletics
Athletics are a very important part of our goal of nurturing the overall development of PCA students. PCA offers daily physical education classes for all students. In the fall months, students participate in rigorous Presidential Fitness Testing, the goal of which is to test and improve the total physical fitness of students. As a member of the Alabama Independent School Association (AISA), PCA also offers interscholastic athletic competition for boys and girls in the 6th through 12th grades in such sports as football, baseball, golf, track, volleyball, basketball, soccer, and softball. PCA has built a reputation for fielding spirited and successful athletic teams.
Computer Technology
Computer Technology provides PCA students with opportunities that are unparalleled in the Autauga-Elmore area. We are pleased to offer the "Futurekids" curriculum, whereby students are guided by a specially trained, state-certified instructor in areas such as word processing, internet education and research, database creation, and publishing. This unique program is designed to enhance learning for students at every level, in conjunction with the academic curriculum set forth by the teachers, who have also received specialized "Futurekids" training. The program is offered on a weekly basis, and the computer lab is also available during the week for individual enrichment, composition and research. Dr. Mac Adkins, a member of the PCA Board of Directors, provides leadership in the area of the integration of technology into the curriculum. Dr. Adkins was one of the authors of The Alabama Course of Study: Technology which is used by all public schools in the state of Alabama.
Field Trips
Field trips are an important part of each child's educational experience. At Prattville Christian Academy (PCA), great effort is made to expose children to a variety of educational opportunities located just beyond the walls of the school right here in our area. With greatly appreciated help from parents, we have been able to bring to life concepts of science, history, and even mathematics, filling PCA students with a sense of wonder and adventure not gained in any classroom.
