PCA State of the School

Sitting in the PCA State of the School address by Head of School Dr. Larry Taylor on Monday night, I couldn’t help but think how far God has brought this school. I am so grateful for His hand on PCA and for His blessing.

We opened our doors in August 1997 with about 300 children in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. We now have nearly 1,500 students in pre-k through 12th grade. And the Lord continues to bless Prestonwood Christian Academy every day. Here are just a few things that I (along with about 1,000 parents) learned:

• In the past year, 177 students and parents surrendered their lives to Christ.
• Nearly 90 percent of alumni have said they feel spiritually prepared to defend their faith.
• Last year, 60 percent of our Upper School students went on a mission trip.
• So far this year, 373 students have signed up for mission trips.
• Over the past six years, PCA students have been awarded more than $12 million in scholarships.

Our students are not just receiving an excellent education; they are truly receiving a Kingdom Education. As the grandparent of a PCA Lion, I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this. I know how much my grandson, Ian, loves PCA and how much his parents, Jason and Toby, love it.

I want you to take a moment to watch this powerful video that speaks so much to what PCA is about ... what makes it special.
