Middle School
The Middle School program at PCA is designed to strike a balance between:
- Security and Challenge
- Individuality and Community
- Support and Responsibility
- Requirements and Opportunities
Middle School is the bridge that joins elementary and high school. Fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders are at a pivotal point in their lives, and indeed they are at the threshold of young adulthood. This transition requires an environment prepared not only to meet the challenges, but prepared to take advantage of the opportunities presented by this special time in a student’s life. The facilities, staff and programs of PCA have been put into place to do just that.
Ultimately, our goal is that we communicate the love of God to young teenagers in the context of an academic environment. We expect them to work hard, so we balance that expectation with the opportunity to play hard. We know that life will shortly pull at them from every direction, so we provide a “connectedness” for them that is rooted and grounded in Christ.
*All electives offered are subject to having enough participants to make a class. Additional offerings may be available dependent on interest and staff availability.
