How do I apply?

You can apply here.

Is there an application deadline?

Decisions at PCS are based on space availability, so we encourage families to apply early. While there is no strict deadline, completing enrollment before June ensures eligibility for available discounts.

Is there an enrollment fee?

Yes, an enrollment fee is required at the time of enrollment and is non-refundable. It can be paid by credit or debit card. The fee is $450 per family for Preschool and Pre-K, and $750 per family for Kindergarten through 12th grade. The Preschool/Pre-K enrollment fee is waived if the family has already paid the $750 fee for an older child.

Does PCS require entrance testing?

Testing may be scheduled depending on the student’s grade level or other factors, and there is a $45 fee per child.

How are admission decisions made?

At PCS, we welcome students who align with our Christian mission. Families must regularly attend church and actively participate in their faith community, reflecting the values we nurture at school.

We also seek students who are an academic fit, meaning they meet our requirements and are positioned to thrive in our rigorous and supportive learning environment. Admission considers spiritual alignment, academic readiness, and discipline records, ensuring each student can flourish within the PCS community.

Do we accept IEPs or 504s?

Administration reviews IEPs and 504s on an individual basis. These may be emailed to admissions prior to beginning the application process. You can contact the admissions director here. 

Academics/Curriculum

What is the average class size?

Class sizes at PCS vary by grade level, typically ranging from 15 to 25 students. We prioritize small, manageable classes to ensure each student receives personalized attention and the support they need to thrive academically and personally.

How is faith integrated into the academic program?

At PCS, faith is fully integrated into the academic program through our Kingdom Education approach. We place Christ at the center of everything, encouraging students to examine the world through a biblical lens. Every subject is taught from a biblical worldview so that God’s truth is reflected in all learning, highlighting His creation rather than human knowledge alone.

What curriculum does PCS use?

PCS uses a Cognia-accredited curriculum. Our program is designed to provide a rigorous academic foundation while integrating a biblical worldview in every subject.

Tuition & Financial Aid

Is there a fee to submit an application?

No, there is no fee to submit an application. A payment of $750 is only required when your child is officially accepted and you proceed with enrollment.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. Need-based financial aid is available, and families may apply securely online through FACTS Financial Aid Management. Learn more here.

What is the deadline for financial aid applications?

PCS provides need-based tuition assistance through FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment. To maximize aid, families should apply early. Awards are reduced for late applications: 25% after May 1, 50% after June 1, 75% after July 1, and no aid after August 1.

How does the family participation fee work?

PCS has a family participation fee of $750, which is billed with your tuition plan. Families can earn this fee back by completing 25 hours of approved volunteer activities, such as AM or PM traffic control (½ hour per week), lunch duty (1 hour every other week), or volunteering at school and community events. This makes participation flexible, rewarding, and fully reimbursable through approved hours.

Are payment plans offered?

Yes. PCS offers several payment options. Families can receive discounts by paying in full or in two installments:

  • Pay in full by June 10: $250 discount per student
  • Two payments (June 10 & January 10): $150 discount per student

We also offer 10- and 12-month payment plans to provide flexibility for families.

Student Life & Extracurriculars

What are the school hours?

Our school day runs from 8:00am to 3:00pm for all grade levels.

Are half-day options available for early childhood programs?

Preschool and Kindergarten offer full-day programs on either a 3-day (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) or 5-day (Monday through Friday) schedule.

Do you offer after-school care?

PCS offers after-school care from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. You can learn more here.

What clubs and organizations are available?

Students can explore a wide range of activities, including music, theater, fine arts, robotics, clubs, and service opportunities. We also offer several sports, which may vary from year to year depending on student participation.

Faith & Values

What is your school’s faith tradition or affiliation?

PCS is a multi-denominational Christian school. We partner with families from over 100 churches and teach from a biblical worldview. Our goal is for school instruction to complement what students learn at home and in church. Through our Kingdom Education philosophy, every area of PCS is grounded in biblical principles.

Is regular church attendance required for students and families?

Yes. Regular church attendance is required for both students and their families. At PCS, “regular attendance” is defined as attending church at least twice a month. As part of the application process, your pastor will need to complete a form to verify your family’s church participation. This helps us partner with families who actively engage in their faith community.

Are there opportunities for student-led worship or ministry?

Yes. PCS provides opportunities for students to lead worship and participate in ministry, allowing them to actively grow in their faith and serve the school and community.
