At PCS we are passionate about our commitment to academic excellence.
Our academic program is comprehensive, college preparatory, and taught within a Christian framework.
Beginning in Kindergarten, the academic program is designed to lay a solid academic and intellectual foundation for our students to challenge them to excel and to provide them the knowledge and skills they will need to succeed in the 21st century.
Our mission is to provide a college preparatory program grounded in a Christian intellectual and moral framework so our students learn to intelligently integrate their Christian faith with their learning.
Our commitment to achieve the highest levels of academic and spiritual growth is motivated by our desire to honor and serve the God who has made and redeemed us and by our desire to provide our children with a Christian education of national distinction.
At Presbyterian Christian School, our goal is to glorify God by assisting the Christian family in the discipleship, education, and nurture of its children and to ensure the success of each student who is enrolled.
