Admissions


Applications for the 2026-2067 School Year are Open
 
At Pusch Ridge Christian Academy, our mission is to teach students to become like Christ and be transformed so they might impact the world now and in the future. We partner with families to provide an education rooted in the Word of God, while supporting each student in discovering their unique, God-given purpose.

We recognize that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions—and investments—you will make for your child. It is our privilege to walk alongside you as you consider if PRCA is the best fit for your family.

Admissions Process

 
Read and Agree with Our Statement of Faith and Statement of Christian Principles 
As a covenantal school, we require that one parent be a Christ follower and actively involved in a local church community.

Submit your online application to begin the process. Once your application is received, you will be emailed instructions to create your admissions account, which will guide you through the next steps. 

Create Your Admissions Account
Your account provides access to a checklist that outlines how to submit the required references and documents. It will also serve as your central hub for communication, instructions, and updates throughout the application process.

Submit Required Documents through Checklist 
  • Pastoral Reference
  • Teacher Reference
  • Other school records & documents noted in your checklist
Assessment
Applicants complete a grade-level assessment to ensure academic readiness.

File Review
Our admissions team carefully reviews each application, references, and assessment results.

Interview
Parents whose child has met the admissions criteria will be invited to an interview with our admissions committee. In Grades 6-12, both parents and the student will attend the admissions interview together.
Next Steps

We encourage you to begin the process today by submitting an inquiry or an application and discover how PRCA can partner with your family to provide a Christ-centered education.
