Porter's Chapel Academy strives to train young people through a well-rounded Christian education, thereby preparing them for life as leaders who will choose character before career, wisdom beyond scholarship, service before self and participation as a way of life.
Our philosophy of education is based on the premise that knowledge is impossible without God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
God, who created all things, cannot be separated from history, literature, mathematics, science or any other academic discipline.
Therefore, the whole range and content of education are to be God-centered.
