Helping Each Student Discover their God Given Genius
Christian Classical Education
Today, students need more than general knowledge. Petra Christian Academy is a traditional Christ-Centered Classical Christian School, teaching students wisdom, character, and hard work. Our mission is to enlighten young minds and to help them discover their God-given genius. We work hard to prepare each student for college, but more importantly, we strive to develop faithful Christians who know what they believe and why they believe it.
Our Academy is a member of the Association of Classical Christian Schools. We are a small school with an average class size of ten students or less. We have a close-knit home-like environment where students develop friendships with like-minded Christians that will last a lifetime. Besides traditional subjects, our students study Singapore Math, the Russian language, and character development.

Given the uncertainty of the worldwide pandemic, we are setting our students for maximum success by offering live teacher led classes online. Teachers and students will be able to continue to interact with each other. Live interaction will help to ensure that students can successfully progress through their rigorous curriculum and receive teacher assistance throughout their school day.
