Overview
The College Drive Seventh-day Adventist School family exists to show children Jesus, nurture their love for Him and others, teach them to think, and empower them to serve.
The College Drive Seventh-day Adventist School is operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church to provide a spiritually oriented education for children.
A belief in the existence of the Creator God is fundamental in the philosophy of Seventh-day Adventist Schools.
We respect His divine authority and recognize His intervention in human affairs.
We believe that true education develops the spiritual, mental, and physical powers of each student; preparing them for the joy of service in this life and for the higher joy of service in the life to come.
Park Place Christian Academy, a ministry of Park Place Baptist Church, located in central Mississippi, strives to provide a distinctively Christian, academically rigorous education for students in grades K3-12.
PPCA, established in 2000, and with a current enrollment of 600 students, uses Godly guidance and Christian personnel to cultivate a biblical worldview into the hearts and minds of our students. Park Place Christian Academy is accredited by SACS/AdvancED and at the highest level by the Mid-South Association of Independent Schools (MAIS).
