Admissions
We chose PRCA because of its excellent academic education and Christian world-view, but we have stayed all of these years because of the commitment of the faculty and staff to the betterment of our children, the small class sizes, the fabulous friendships our kids have made, the greater school community, and the wonderful enrichment and extracurricular activities they have all been able to be a part of.
