I would highly recommend PCS for Christian families. The elementary school is first class starting in Pre-K through 5th grade and the teachers are dedicated and loving. The academics taught are the traditional 3R's with a Biblical emphasis woven throughout each subject. The students test higher than children from public schools in all grades. The Jr High & High School are also outstanding with teachers who care about the kids and do an excellent job of teaching, particuarly in math, science and history. The school is run with loving discipline and the behavior of the students shows respect for teachers and the rules. The sports program and extra activities all promote a family atmosphere and I love having all of my children together in the same school.
I am a former student and I would definitely recommend attending PCS. I had great teachers who not only taught me the subjects, but also made me think, not just memorize information. I realize that it's a little cramped sometimes but the quality of education and caring teachers are totally worth a little crowding. I had no problems getting into a good college and was ahead of many of my classmates in writing and learning how to study for tests. PCS is a great school with a very dedicated faculty.
I attended this school from 7th-12th grades. I strongly urge parents to look into other Christian Schools in the area (e.g.Hawthorne) even if it is a bit further. PCS is a legalistic, extreme environment with a very poor curriculum. Even with above avg SAT scores (I took an outside study course) and supplemental classes at CCM, I found it difficult to get into a decent college. The Christian position taught here is judgmental and guilt-ridden. I feel that I missed out on any positive high school experiences by attending this school.
I love this school! I'm 9th grade student there and have been going there since PreK! the atmosphere between stuent and teacher is great and the teachers always have a Bibical reason for the way they run they're classrooms. the Bibical knowledge is great (we learn about the bible in evey subject and most of the time the teacher is the one who is telling us this and not the textbooks, even though the textbooks do tell us). the sports programs are always focus around God first, not just winning which sometimes we do. the acdamics are always focus around glorifying God first, not just oursleves. I love this school so much that I want my future kids to go there and teach there as a junior high/ high school teacher for history and literature.
