K-6 Elementary
K-6 Elementary Program | Plymouth Christian Academy
Plymouth Christian Academy, a K-12 school, provides students an education that can impact them for eternity. Our well-balanced elementary program for grades K-6 allows students to gain a sophisticated understanding in the central disciplines of Bible, math, science, history, and language arts.
Additional courses enrich our curriculum by the incorporation of music, art, world language, physical education, STEM lab, and technology. We maintain a high standard for academic rigor with many hands-on, engaging instructional techniques for academic achievement.
Our desire is to equip students to utilize knowledge and skills for lifelong learning, leadership, and service to others. Students attend chapel weekly to worship together and learn biblical truths.
At PCA, we believe that each student is created in the image of God with a purpose. As students are immersed in learning from a biblical worldview, we watch them grow as learners, leaders, and followers of Jesus. In kindergarten through third grade, spiritual development focuses on worldview formation, biblical story introduction, and scripture memory. In fourth through sixth grade, spiritual formation focuses on a growing heart affection for Jesus, Bible content knowledge, ongoing scripture memory and loving our neighbors.

Elementary MAP Testing
During the school year, PCA students take an assessment called Measures of Academic Progress® (MAP®) provided by the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). We give the MAP assessments to determine instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year. This assessment is given multiple times each year in the areas of reading and math.
MAP assessments are adaptive tests and allow students to answer questions from varying grade levels, depending on their current knowledge base. The NWEA MAP provides data points that allow PCA staff to form skills groups and evaluate current levels of instuction and readiness, intervention needs, and growth across the year.
Following the September assessment period, parents will receive a report showing their child’s baseline information in math and reading. Future assessments will also indicate the growth students have made.
