If music and theater are important to you. I highly recommend not going to Portsmouth Christian Academy. They lack the proper resources for them. They even lack a true theater. All the theater equipment is rented, making theater productions hard to organize and succeed. On the music side - the school lacks proper rehearsal areas for the musicians.

As a current student at PCA I definitely have not had the best experience. I've been going here just about my whole life. I did go to public school at some point though and I had a better experience there. I really hope this helps parents/guardians out. To start I don't have the best mental health I...

Portsmouth Christian Academy has been a community that nurtures each student holistically; academically, spiritually, physically, and artistically. I have heard firsthand from so many students who tell me their experiences of growth, being supported to maximize their potentials, whether that be by f...
