"Good Search" for PCA

PCA thanks its blog visitors for their support and encouragement. Since the 1st of September we have had 113 new blog visitors - nearly as many new visitors as we had in the months of July and August combined! Your interest in the work God is doing through Pinnacle Classical Academy is incredibly encouraging to us, and we hope that you'll continue to dialogue with us about the mission of classical, Christian education and the vision of training wise and eloquent young men and women.

Many of you have asked about ways that you can help us in the task of building this school. One of our greatest areas of need is simply the financial funding to get an institution like this off the ground. We are completely trusting God to provide for our financial needs, and we recognize that he has given us some earthly resources to work with. One of these resources is called "Good Search." Good Search gives non-profit organizations (like us) a portion of the proceeds from internet searches (an $8 billion/yr. industry). Simply put, you can earn money for PCA by simply searching the internet, as well as shopping on the internet - it costs you absolutely nothing to help us in this way. To begin earning money for PCA, go to http://www.goodsearch.com/ and in the blank that says "Who do you Good Search for?" type Pinnacle Classical Academy. Then, every time you search the internet, or shop on the internet, go through the http://www.goodsearch.com/ home page and money will be automatically donated to our school. Go to their website to learn more about how this works, but it really is that easy. Even small organizations like ours can earn $2,000 (or more) a year just by using Good Search. Please feel free to spread the word to all of your friends and family. We would love to have as many people using this resource as possible!

Thank you again for your continued support - we are excited for the opportunity to serve the Little Rock community through the formation of a classical, Christian school!

Employee Highlight

In a previous blog, I referenced an organization called The Association of Classical & Christian Schools (ACCS). This group was founded during the early 1990s in response to the book Recovering the Lost Tools of Learning by Douglas Wilson. ACCS provides oversight to many classical, Christian schools throughout the country and has been a great resource for us as we have followed God's calling in founding Pinnacle Classical Academy.

With the growing number of classical schools, there have been several other organizations that have formed for the purpose of aiding schools in developing and strengthening their leadership and teachers. One such group is the Classical School Foundation (www.classicalschoolfoundation.org). It was very exciting to see last week on Classical School Foundation's website an article about our director of development, Holley Peters.

Check out the article on www.classicalschoolfoundation.org/graduate_profiles.php#peters

to read how Holley's life has been impacted by classical education. Congratulations Holley!

Location Search

Please pray with us and for us as we begin to search for an appropriate school location. We are excited to begin this search, though we know that it may be a long process. We are fully trusting God to provide for us, as He does in every way. Also, if you know of any leads on facilities available for lease, please feel free to send us an email.
