My child started PMCA in elementary school and other than some issues with unruly students early on seemed to have a good experience. We thought most of the teachers were smart and classes were taught through a Godly lens. We had a lot of respect for the teachers and the program. As far as college prep they offer AP and college credit courses in high school but do very little else to help students build a successful resume for college applications. The biggest problem we encountered was when the school administration injected politics into the classroom and of course cooperation from teachers was needed to accomplish this which was even more disappointing. Our goal in choosing PMCA was to give our child a good education infused with biblical principles and void of political indoctrination. Unfortunately PMCA failed in the last regard. To their credit they did send out an email warning parents of their intent but still not acceptable.

My son is about to finish kindergarten at PMCA. We have been very impressed with his teacher and all other staff members. My son broke his leg (not at school) and they have done more than we could have asked to accommodate him - not because they had to, but because they care about him. My wife gradu...

I attended this school for the majority of my schooling. I began in elementary school and ended late in my high school career. This school does a wonderful job of preparing students for college only to let them down. Elementary school is focused on solid preparation for middle school. Middle school...
