Thank you for visiting Pinnacle Classical Academy’s blog!

For our new readers, I would like to briefly introduce PCA and the people who are behind the school. PCA is an independent, classical Christian school led by a Board of Directors. The Board of PCA is comprised of parents who desire to establish a school that will glorify God through the Christ-centered, classical training of children. Their hope is that the future graduates of PCA will be students who are instilled with a lifelong love of learning, equipped for service in love to God and man.

The Board started meeting early last summer (2009) and in September I was hired as PCA’s Director of Development. Together we began working to lay the foundation for Little Rock’s first classical, Christian school. PCA has held four informational meetings and is beginning to find like-minded individuals who are excited about partnering with PCA. More informational meetings will be held this spring.

Currently, PCA’s Board is working diligently to secure a location for the fall 2010 opening. PCA’s curriculum committee is in the midst of surveying and selecting the curriculum for each subject. Recently, PCA released both its student and employee applications. Though many tasks lay ahead of the Board, it is exciting to offer a new educational opportunity for Little Rock families and to see the many ways that the Lord is providing for the needs of PCA.

We encourage you to peruse the past articles on our blog, as you will find more information about classical, Christian education, as well as other helpful resources. We would love to talk with you individually and to send you more information about PCA. Please contact us at 501-240-9080 or pinnacleclassical@gmail.com.

Excelsior ad Dei Gloriam!

~Holley Peters, Director of Development
