Elementary Programs
Curriculum Overview
Penn Christian Academy believes students learn in a manner that is unique to their God-given design. 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.

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.
