CORE VALUES:
 
Christ-Centered Education:
 
Instruction in the classroom must always point to God’s sovereignty and the Bible as our ultimate authority. We believe all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy, and it serves as the foundation for learning.  PCA seeks to lead children to a personal commitment to Jesus Christ, helping them to become fully devoted followers of Christ.
 
Academic priority:
 
PCA values teaching students the fundamentals and providing students with the building blocks for learning.  The intellectual capacities of our students are developed to enable them to think critically and deeply. Students are expected to work hard to produce scholarship.  (2 Tim. 2:15)  Not all students’ educational needs are the same and at times learning plans are modified to best meet the students’ needs.
 
Educating the whole child:
 
A variety of rigorous, engaging, academic and co-curricular activities are provided to enable students to experiment, discover, and develop their unique gifts and abilities. Students are further encouraged to use their gifts to actively pursue God’s plan for their lives.
 
Students are also mentored to develop interpersonal skills and establish relationships that honor God. PCA also emphasizes respect for each other as God’s masterpieces.
 
Shepherding the heart:
 
Potential Christian believes in connecting the hearts of students to the power and grace of the gospel. We are committed to the truth that the heart is the wellspring of life. The heart, with its passions and desires, sets the course of life.  Since behavior mirrors the heart, then the route to lasting change for students is the grace and power of the gospel.
 
Stewardship:
 
Since all we have is ultimately from God, Potential Christian is committed to responsible use of all financial, physical and human resources.
 
Nurturing Environment:
 
Potential believes in cultivating a safe, positive environment where students are nurtured and encouraged.  Providing a caring and nurturing environment is the best way to instill a love of learning.  All teaching is ultimately relational. Therefore, personal relationships are a high priority at PCA.
 
Partnership:
 
Parents and school personnel view one another as valued partners in the shared activity of Christian schooling. Mutual respect, communication and involvement by all partners are essential for student success.
 
Professionalism with humility:
 
Staff members maintain professional credentials and training appropriate for their duties while modeling a posture of the biblical servant-leader in all relationships. Sound judgment and competence are expected at every level of the organization.
 
Excellence:
 
We want to be intentional about doing the right things and doing them with excellence.
