About
At Prestonwood Christian Academy, as a Christian school serving students in Pre-K through 12th Grades through various models, faith is not separated from learning, but rather integrated intentionally, resulting in a distinctive environment and community. We cultivate intelligent Christ followers who can articulate their worldview in a marketplace full of opposing ideas and ideology!
What are some of the values taught at Prestonwood Christian Academy?
Parents may notice values and beliefs taught in some schools that do not reinforce what they are teaching in the home. In fact, these things may run counter to what parents are instilling in their children. There are formative ages in K-12 during which children need reinforcement at the school level, where they can see God in mathematics, are able to experience Christ in science or understand that there are biblical principles in history, and can stay true to patriotic measures.
What is the culture of learning like at Prestonwood Christian Academy?
PCA is student-centered, concentric, individualized education. Students feel very loved at PCA. There is a sense of camaraderie on campus.
Why is the mission of Prestonwood Christian Academy essential?
In today’s culture, we must be grounded and rooted in who we are in Christ. Our children cannot survive with shallow roots, which is why we provide the ability for them to build strong, deep roots. This way, when the storms come, students can withstand challenges they face in school and beyond.
What is Prestonwood Christian Academy's education philosophy?
Prestonwood Christian Academy was established in 1997 with the core philosophy of Kingdom education; bringing the home, church, and school into a partnership for the purpose of training the next generation. Kingdom education is the life-long, Bible-based, Christ-centered process of leading a child into a new identity with Christ. At PCA we develop a child according to his or her specific abilities given to them by God, so they feel empowered to live a life characterized by love, trust, and obedience to Him.
Here’s a polished Q&A that positions the different models as a benefit of the broader PCA experience:
What school options does Prestonwood Christian Academy offer families?
One of the unique benefits of Prestonwood Christian Academy is the array of school models available to meet the needs of today’s families. While every model is grounded in PCA’s commitment to biblical truth, academic excellence and Christ-like leadership, families can choose the learning environment that best fits their student.
Traditional School offers a full-time, on-campus experience for students in Pre-K through Grade 12 at PCA Plano and Pre-K through Grade 6 at PCA North in Prosper.
Hybrid School combines classroom instruction with at-home learning. Students attend classes on campus three days each week and complete teacher-directed learning at home two days each week. Hybrid serves Kindergarten through Grade 4 at PCA Plano and Kindergarten through Grade 1 at PCA North.
Online School provides a flexible, Christ-centered education for students in Grades 5–12. Through Online Shared, eligible students can also combine online learning with select in-person classes and experiences at the PCA Plano or PCA North campus.
No matter which model a family chooses, students remain part of the PCA community and benefit from an education intentionally designed to develop them academically, spiritually and personally.
