For this reason, we are committed to trusting God in seeking resources to help families in need. Individuals, businesses and churches are encouraged to partner with families to provide a Christian education for families who would not otherwise be able to attend. We are partners in this venture with you. For this reason, we expect a high level of participation, interest, commitment, accountability, and willingness to sacrifice on your part to keep your child(ren) here. All PCA families receiving tuition assistance, are required to volunteer at least 75 hours throughout the school year.
