Purpose
Our purpose is to provide quality academic training with a
Christ-centered curriculum in a Christian environment and to develop
young people who will be faithful servants and witnesses for the Lord
Jesus Christ.

Mission Statement
Our desire is to instill within the young people a proper
Christian philosophy of life based upon the Word of God and to see
them come to love the Lord Jesus Christ with all their heart, mind, and
soul.

Each of our classes are taught by qualified educators, who are committed to the academic and spiritual success of each student. Our teachers understand the responsibility of the ministry and have sacrificed to serve the Lord in this area.

We offer our PreK through 2nd grade classes in a traditional classroom setting. In grades 3rd – 12th Mathematics, English, Language Arts, and Reading are taught in a traditional setting while Bible, Science, History, Foreign Language, and others use the Abeka Master Video Program. This program allows us to provide traditional classroom instruction to each child at his own grade level.   

Affiliations

PCS is a member of the Georgia Association of Christian Schools (GACS) and the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS).  It is by these associations that we are able to further teacher development and remain abreast of current methods and materials.

Accredited Plan of Study

While our school is not accredited through any state or other governmental agency, our students have the opportunity to graduate with an accredited diploma through the Accredited Enrollment Plan from the Abeka Academy.

All students in 11^th and 12^th grades are required to enroll in the accreditation plan. Those students who participate in the plan will receive the benefits of an accredited transcript and diploma from Abeka Academy. This also allows our graduates to earn state scholarships such as HOPE, Zell Miller, and others.

As a video instruction provider, Abeka Academy is accredited by the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (FACCS) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools (MSA CESS).

Admissions

We implement a selective admissions policy. While we desire to serve as many students as possible, we may not have the adequate resources to do so effectively for every situation.

PCS will not admit any student who does not have a good record of conduct, character, attitude, and attendance.  No student will be enrolled if they have been expelled or not allowed to re-enroll in another school due to disciplinary problems.

The process for admissions begins with scheduling a tour and interview with our administrator. You can do this by calling the office or clicking the “Schedule a Visit” link online and filling out the form. Before the interview please fill out the online application. After the interview, an administrative decision will be made as to the student’s acceptance and you will be notified.

All students must be enrolled by the student’s parents or legal guardians who will be responsible for the student’s behavior and tuition.

Age Requirements

Student must be the following ages on or before September 1^st: K3 – must be 3 years old K4 – must be 4 years old Kindergarten – must be 5 years old 1^st Grade – must be 6 years old

Transferring Students

All records from the student’s previous school must be received before the beginning of the school year.

Returning Students

Once admission is granted the student will be automatically qualified for re-enrollment for subsequent school years provided that he or she remains in good standing with the school. Students returning to PCS must re-enroll each year.  A registration fee, new completed application form, and handbook signature page must be received by the office in order to be considered re-enrolled.

Church Attendance

The ministry of Philadelphia Christian School is a team effort with the home and church.  It is therefore required that at least one parent and the student faithfully attend a local Bible believing church.  Regular church attendance is a vital part of the total education of each student.  Only active members, as defined in the church by-laws, of Philadelphia Baptist Church will receive the member’s discount.
