FAQ:

Point Christian Academy and Preschool is a Classical Christian School that exists to provide an excellent academic, faith-based education for the greater Chattanooga area as we educate students using a Christian worldview. PCA seeks to develop students’ understanding of the gospel, encourage their love for God and His creation, and strengthen their ability to express and defend the Christian faith

The classical approach to education follows the natural development of a child’s intellect. Beginning with the “grammar” level by presenting the basic facts and principles of learning and then progressing to the “logic” level of ordering information. Classical education matures in the “rhetoric” stage, where students learn to think critically, integrate information and communicate effectively. Classical education is designed to develop lifelong learners who know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to communicate it as they impact the culture for Christ winsomely.

A Classical Christian School uses a biblical framework to understand everything. A biblical foundation is more than adding a Bible verse to the curriculum. When education is integrated around the truth that God is the Creator of all that exists, all knowledge is interrelated and points back to Him.
