School Profile
Our School Profile clearly reflects who we are: a Christ-centered, multicultural, college-preparatory school committed to both academic excellence and spiritual formation.
At PACA, we believe education should uphold biblical truth, strong moral values, and high academic expectations. With solid accreditation, dedicated Christian teachers, and small class sizes, we offer a safe and nurturing environment where every child is genuinely known, guided, and supported.
Our academic program is rigorous and purposeful. Students are challenged through Advanced Placement (AP) courses, university-preparatory pathways, and character development rooted in Scripture. We prepare young men and women not only to excel academically but also to think critically, lead with integrity, and serve others with humility and compassion. Our graduates consistently demonstrate the strength of both their academic preparation and their Christian character.
PACA is fully accredited in both the United States and Brazil.
We hold accreditation through:
-
Middle States Association (MSA)
-
Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)
-
Brazilian Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC)
For ongoing faculty growth and excellence, we are also active members of:
-
Association of American Schools in Brazil (AASB)
-
Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI)
Our graduates are well prepared for the next step.
-
80% attend universities in North America, including institutions such as Duke, Cornell, Notre Dame, NYU, Wheaton, Biola, and others.
-
20% attend excellent universities in Brazil, such as Insper, Mackenzie, FGV, Einstein Medicina, USP, and more.
This strong placement record reflects the quality, stability, and values-driven focus of a PACA education.
