Pusch Ridge Christian Academy's mission is to teach our students to become like Christ and be transformed so they might impact the world now and in the future. We seek to partner with families to give their child an excellent education based on the Word of God, while also supporting them to discover their unique, God-given purpose. Learn about our covenantal approach to partnering with our families.
For the 2024-2025 School Year
We have seats available in the following grades. All other applications will be considered for the wait pool.
Grammar Campus: Kindergarten only
Upper Campus: 10th & 12th
South Campus: Kindergarten, 2nd, and 3rd
Applying to PRCA involves three steps. It includes the online application, an assessment, and an invitation to interview. An applicant may not move through all the steps depending on seat availability and the number of applications received.
Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will open on October 1, 2024. Early applications are recommended.
You will create an account when you complete the initial application. The non-refundable application fee is $75.
Once the initial inquiry and/or application is processed, you will be issued a checklist of required items to submit in order for the application to be considered complete. This checklist will be updated online as documents are submitted.

South and Grammar Campus Assessment Once the application is complete and reviewed, Kinder applicants will be invited to an assessment (Kinder Round Up or Junta). In grades 1-5, after the application is reviewed, applicants will be invited to an assessment once seats become available.
Due to an increase in applicants and limited seat availability, an applicant may remain in this step for an undetermined time.
Upper Campus ISEE Entrance Exam
At the Upper Campus, applicants may register for the ISEE exam, while turning in all required documents. The cost is $155 which is payable to ERB. Testing dates and registration directions are found within the checklist online.
After the complete file (application, required documents, and grade level assessment) is reviewed by the Admissions Team (Director of Admissions and Admissions Managers), if the admissions criteria are met for the desired grade the parents (and child in grades 6 -12) will be invited to an interview with Admissions Committee members (i.e. Principal, Dean of Student Life, Director of Administration, Director of Admissions, or Admissions Manager). Due to the time of the year and different factors for varying grades, at the end of the interview, the Admissions Team Representative will explain when the parent(s) will be notified of an enrollment decision.
