Students leave Penn Christian Academy as confident learners with a high level of leadership ability. Unique programming in the area of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics set the school apart. The gifted and enrichment programs of Penn Christian Academy were designed specifically for the school. They are based on best practice and align with the school's overall instructional philosophy of continuous progress. Students are identified as gifted, according to nationally-normed standards, or are identified in a subject specific academic area (reading or math) and are provided with programs that support their specific level of need. The gifted coordinator works closely with classroom teachers to enrich existing curricular goals as well as providing enrichment in specially designed units. The school also offers programs for struggling students, particularly those with dyslexia. In addition to the strong academic programs, Penn Christian Academy's greatest impact is spiritual and emotional. When surveyed, students who graduate from the school remark about the impact of feeling safe at school and growing in their faith, as well as being ready for academic challenges.

Testimonials

February 14, 2015 from Kristen Welsh
I graduated from Penn Christian Academy in 2010. Because of Penn Christian, I was able to skip seventh grade when returning to public school. I am now a senior at Seneca Valley and a leader in my church youth group. If it hadn't been for PCA, I would never have known God or Jesus and I believe that I wouldn't be anywhere near where I am now academically. Though it frightens me, it also inspires me. I believe God does things for reasons we cannot always fathom. The point is to say thank you for being able to change me in such a positive way... that even after 5 years of public school, I stayed true to my faith, which was founded at Penn Christian Academy.
