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 2025-2026 School Year
Applying to PRCA involves three steps. The first step is to complete the online application and submit the required documents. The second step is an assessment. At the Grammar and South Campuses, a candidate may have to wait to be assessed until there is an open seat. At the Upper Campus, a candidate may sign up for the ISEE exam on their own. After the assessment is complete, the file is reviewed and then the final step is to be invited to interview.
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. In grades 1-5, after the application is reviewed, applicants will be invited to an assessment once seats become available.
Due to increased 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 $160, 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.
