"My son has been attending PCA, this will be his second year. He is now in Pre-K. He has learned many of things and is alot smarter than I could imagine. The downside to the school is the amount of money I am spending. Yes I understand for a good education that you have to pay the price, but for a single mother to be paying over 600$ monthly is very exhausting and costly. Not to forget all of the fundraiser's that they encourage you spend a fourtune on. On top of it, they charge you an arm and leg for after care. Im very confused on if I will be sending my son here next year."

"I went through the enrollment process with my child and was very disappointed with how the school conducts its interviews and with the follow up process. We received an acceptance letter, started receiving notices from the online payment service, then received a form letter stating we were no longer accepted due to perceived behavioral issues with no documentation (later disputed by the child's current school). The follow up was very poor & requests for discussion went unanswered for long periods of time. I would not recommend this school."

"PCA has been a remarkable educational experience for my son. The combination of a high quality education, skilled & caring teachers with the foundation of Christian values makes this school ideal for our family. We love the school community of teachers, students & parents working together to prepare this generation for a successful future."

"When I took the tour of PCA in March of 2008, I knew this was the school for my sons. My youngest son attended a private christian school for Kindergarten and I was looking for another Christian school to transition him into. My oldest son was an honor roll student in a Philadelphia public school and I was concerned about how he would adjust to the smaller environment and rigorous academics at PCA. The teachers at PCA are wonderful and the transition has been great for both of the boys. If you are looking for a great school with an excellent academic program, a strong spiritual emphasis and teachers who care about the students and know them personally, then PCA is for you!!"

"My daughter is a recent graduate of PCA and proved to be very well-prepared for high school - honors classes! PCA teaches one year above traditional grade level so it is challenging for students (and parents) but well-worth the investment, academically and spiritually. Teaching and learning is done in a 'peaceful, loving and kind' atmosphere, where children are taught to mediate conflicts according to biblical principles. Profanity is not tolerated; uniforms are required. Families who enroll their children at PCA immediately become part of a loving and supportive community of believers. I would urge anyone who's looking for a well-rounded academic program, including physical education, sports teams, art, music, computers, and Spanish to check out PCA."
