PINEWOOD CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
Pinewood’s curriculum is broadly based, with a dual emphasis upon preparing students for the rigors of post secondary education as well as instilling Christian values. Maximum development of each student’s potential is of prime importance throughout the total school program.
Academic progress is measured by means of standardized tests and appropriate measures taken to insure
normal, stable intellectual growth and development. PCA’s students have consistently scored well above state and national averages on such tests as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, PSAT and SAT. The school curriculum is primarily college preparatory, with emphasis on English, Match, Science, Social Studies and Foreign Language.
Computer Science, Music and Art are also offered in the curriculum. Special recognition is given through the National Honor Soceity, National Merit Scholarship Porgram, Governor’s Honors, University of Georgia Merit Awards, Georgia Tech Math and Science Scholar Awards, Duke University Talent Identification and many other such programs. PCA’s literary program has taken region and state honors in recent years. Most importantly, chapel services are held weekly for students in grades K-12.
Current statistics indicate that 75% of PCA’s graduates go onto enroll in college, while the remianing 25% enroll in either technical or specialty schools. PCA students have competed successfully for thousands of dollars in scholarships, both academic and athletic. Counted among our graduates are those who now engage in law, medicine, law enforcement, the ministry, education, pharmacy, engineering and many other professions. Schools and colleges which our graduates have attended include Emory University, Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech, Mercer, the University of Georgia, and Georgia Southern University.
A strong athletic program is an integral part of the total school program. Physical Education instruction is offered in grades K-12. Individual students are given the opportunity to learn the basics of a variety of sports and are encouraged to participate individually and on a group level. PCA competes interscholastically in football, boy’s and girl’s basketball, tennis, baseball, track and golf. In recent years the school has earned region championships in football, baseball and tennis while having numerous region and state champions in track.
PCA’s philosophy embraces the concept of education as meangingful preparation for life. Accordingly, a great deal of care was taken in
planning and structuring the school environment and curriculum. Christian values and strong emphasis upon academic excellence comprise the twin themes upon which the school’s foundation rests.
PCA does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or thnic origin in the administration of its education, admissions or athletic policies.
