What is the PACA Experience?

Integration of the Christian Faith

Through work and play, we learn about relationships, community and God’s world. Every child is created by God and gifted with unique, God-given potential. So we strive to nurture their hearts and souls in a safe learning environment.

A Loving Community

We encourage parents, students and teachers to develop solid relationships. Our teachers embrace a great mission opportunity to love, educate, and prepare the next generation who will transform their world through Christ. 

A College-Preparatory Education

Our education involves the whole person. This includes convictions, values, principles and truth. PACA provides a global education in a dual curriculum program, American and Brazilian, that integrates challenging academic standards and a Christian Worldview.
