Plymouth Christian Academy

I've had two students at PCA high school. My impression is thus, the school is under the influence of several wealthy families. It is not a healthy environment for students to see this type of influence in action. There have been multiple changes in the head of school position in the last several years. If you are considering this school, you should really determine if you want your child to attend a school that purports to be Christian but in reality does not set the proper example from the top.

I have 3 children at PCA. We have been there since preschool. My kids have received a wonderful education-both academically and spiritually. My high school students just returned from Spiritual LIfe Retreat last week. Amazing experience that gives them the opportunity to focus on their relationship with Christ at the beginning of the school year. Spiritual LIfe Retreat also provides the chance for them to reconnect with their classmates in an extremely positive way. My senior is definitely prepared to head to college next year, both academically and spiritually, with a maturity and grounding that is beyond his years.

I have three kids at PCA and love it. PCA students are challenged academically by their teachers and their fatih is tested as they work in the community and with their peers. Their extra-curricular activities continue to expand with the recent additions of elementary robotics and chess club and varsity tennis among others. PCA is a family. They work, as their mission states, 'to partner with parents' to raise my kids in a strong academic, yet nuturing environment with a biblically-based education.

Solid reputation with academic training. Relates mostly to a wealthy constituency and this is too much of a basis for operation. Less affluent families cannot afford a Christian education in this school, but neither would they fit in well. Christian character standards are loose-not much different from a public school. They are certainly not legalistic, but Christian world view is more surface based rather than distinctive because of the denominational diversity. Those with more strict personal standards of dress, music, boy-girl relationships, and entertainment would not be 'comfortable' trying to fit in.

I've had two kids graduate from pca (after starting there in preschool) and still have one student there in high school. Both of my grads got into excellent colleges/universities and feel they were very prepared for the demands of college. They both also have a solid biblical world view as their foundation for their adult lives.

My children attended PCA for four years, until we moved. It is an excellent school with some wonderful teachers. The Elementary Principal is excellent--understanding, easy to talk with and energetic. We had such a positive experience and truly miss being there.

Elementary Principal gets an A+. Overall, excellent school. Solid emphasis on academics and values. I found it difficult to maneuver in the early days, being an ethnic minority. I've spoken to other minorities, who have similar experiences. In sum, I would recommend.

We found this school to care a lot about social status/wealth and it carried over to the students. It was disappointing since they are a Christian school.

Excellent school. My child has attended for three years now. Each teacher works very hard to give every student one on one help if needed. I am very pleased with my sons progress at this school.
