We have had our kids at PCS since preschool and have been blessed by the faith-based education they have received and continue to receive. We are grateful for the teachers who truly care and pray for their students, the challenging academic standards, the small class sizes, and the safe environment for our kids to go to school. I would recommend PCS for any family looking for an affordable Christian education for their kids!
