World Languages
Part of our mission as a school is to prepare students for college and a life of service for our Lord. Here are PCA, we offer a broad based world languages program which affords our students the opportunity to study Spanish, German and French cultures and language. As our students develop the ability to communicate interlinguistically and interculturally, they also learn to see the world around them through the biblically based language instruction program from qualified Language instructors who love the Lord. As our students learn how God created all people, they learn to appreciate other cultures and are developing skills necessary to function in a global community and workplace.
