I was a student at PCS from k4-12th grade and I so desperately wanted to leave the entire time. This school is racist, hypocritical, and shows favoritism to teacher kids (which is basically half the schools population). Worst thing that I think that was said to be during my time at PCS was that people of different nationalities shouldn't get married... since I'm mixed I took GREAT offense to this. So I definitely wouldn't send your kid here unless you want your child to be a legalistic, biased, racist person... that's not like Christ at all. My faith has only grown since leaving this place. Definitely don't recommend it.

If you want to send your children to the elementary side, the people are nurturing and consistently just. However, after the 5th grade, I would not recommend this school at all. Most of the adults are rigid, unChrist-like and disrespectful to parents. To be plain, they do not partner with parents in...

PCS truly is a family. This Christian school is big enough to offer all the extras (sports, music, art, band, etc.) without losing the small school feel. I'm a proud alumna who attended Kindergarten - 12th grade. I had a great experience for all 13 years, and still maintain close relationships with...

The staff is bright and prepared. It is a Bible based, Christian school for those who may not have surmised from the name of the school. As to academics, graduates have attended universities from Yale to William and Mary; from Duke to UVA. They have excellent sports programs and a fledgling Drama pr...

My children have been attending PCS elementary school for the last 3 years . We are extremely pleased for the education, teachers, and friendly staff this school provides. Our children have flourished academically since they started. We would highly recommend this school.
