WHAT OUR PARENTS SAY
PCA has some of the best and most caring teachers and staff; my children always felt safe and at home while they were there. It helps to know your children are not only learning, but they feel loved and cared for when they are not with mom and dad.Parent Testimonial
If you want to provide your child with a rock solid educational, spiritual and Hellenic base, send them to PCA!Parent Testimonial
We initially chose PCA because we were unhappy with our public school that we fed into. We did look at Catholic schools closer to our home, but the religion was the big factor. We wanted to be in an Orthodox (and Greek) environment. Learning Catholic rules and practices didn’t make sense to me, and I didn’t want it confusing my kids or try to influence them to practice anything other than Orthodoxy. My kids (and I) learning so much about our religion. Having Greek during the day was huge. Their Greek speaking improved tremendously while they were at PCA because they were exposed to it daily.
