Providence Christian Academy (PCA) is a private, classical Christian school in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. The school opened in 1997 and has dual accreditation[2] through both the Association of Christian Schools International and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools/Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS/CASI).[3]
History[]
Sheila Given conceived of creating a new non-denominational Christian school in the Murfreesboro area in the spring of 1994 while she was in a Bible study. This led to a community meeting in August 1996 that attracted leaders for the future school. First housed in Believers Chapel Church, the school opened its doors in August 1997, serving students in kindergarten through sixth grade.
In 1998, the school purchased an equestrian facility and remodeled it to house the school. In 2001, it added seventh and eighth-grade classes. The school opened a new building in September 2004.
In 2013, PCA expanded once again, opening a new elementary school wing. As of 2020, the student body consists of approximately 250 students. A new wing for high school students, including a 1000-seat gymnasium, is under construction.
Extracurricular activities[]
Athletics[]
PCA fields middle school teams in the Middle Tennessee Athletic Conference and high school teams in the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA). The girls' basketball team won a Division 2 AA championship. PCA has had several athletes commit to Division One colleges under athletic scholarships.
Music[]
PCA provides middle, high, and elementary school Christian music groups.
