Students explore, examine and shape the things around them. Therefore, classrooms at PCA reflect a diversity of learning styles, and teaching strategies are incorporated into developmental plans that work for students. PCA's learning environment is deliberately peaceful, loving and kind allowing for gifted teachers to teach and inquisitive students to learn. Because PCA students have an appetite for learning, ample opportunities for discovery and interaction are provided. Fully Accredited Penn Christian Academy is fully accredited by Middle States and Association of Christian Schools International. The education program at Penn Christian Academy is carefully aligned with the academic standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Academics Mathematics Language Arts: Reading, Spelling, English, Grammar, Creative Writing Bible Social Studies Science Spanish Art Physical Education Applied Media Science Computer Science Music Biblical Integration Bible courses combine biblical values and principles with age-appropriate application. Memorization of key verses and study of Christian character traits have a high profile. Students are encouraged to develop a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ as well as practically apply biblical principles through weekly chapel programs and class sponsorship of missionaries and community service projects. Biblical principles are naturally integrated into all subject areas.
