Pusch Ridge Christian Academy has begun the Spring 2021 semester!  

1. To advance PRCA’s mission, ensuring the provision of excellent classical Christian education primarily on-campus, with special contingencies for at-home schooling.
2. To maximize the health and well-being of our students, faculty and staff, while simultaneously minimizing the risk to our community of contracting the virus.  
3. To navigate as surely and reliably a course forward as is possible given the very uncertain and shifting circumstances of our times. Factors we will carefully weigh are: a) government and state agency issued guidelines and executive orders (CDC, ADHS, etc.), b) community confidence in health & safety measures and the way they are enforced, and c) the financial strength and institutional sustainability of PRCA.
4. To call upon our Lord and God to: a) illuminate our path forward with wisdom and love, b) to keep the peace and unity of our community, c) to bless and protect our students, their families, faculty and staff – all for the glory and honor of our Lord and His Kingdom.

Our downloadable COVID-19 Handbook to the right addresses the modifications and adaptations that PRCA is making to press on with our educational mission as safely and securely as possible for our students, faculty and staff.  As modifications are made, they will promptly be integrated into the Handbook; note that the cover page will reflect the date of the most recent change.  Updates will also be listed separately by date below the Handbook.

Although nothing replaces on-campus, in-person Christian learning, we fully recognize that many of our families must, for safety’s sake, keep their children at home for the present time. The Lions Online Learning Program is being used for the Grammar School (grades DK-5). Online learning is not offered to Upper School students unless previously enrolled in the program. Students opting for the online option remain enrolled at PRCA.
