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 follows the Association of Classical Christian Schools' recommendations and is inspired by thinkers such as C.S. Lewis and Dorothy Sayers. 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.
