My daughter goes to school here and she is in kindergarten. So the grade levels on here are not correct!My daughters teachers are phenomenal. Her kindergarten teacher had her reading and writing before Christmas break!She passed her kindergarten test and, is now doing first grade work. Also the church associated with PCA is Pentecostal but the curriculum is not, it is christian curriculum . There are no Pentecostal beliefs thrown on my child. They do learn Bible scriptures monthly and know about God. I am grateful for a school like PCA!I just wish this information was correct.
