Committed To Excellence Guided By Truth

Palm Beach Christian Academy is rooted in a classical, Christ-centered approach, we blend rigorous academics, intentional spiritual formation, and a tight‑knit community so every child is known, valued, and equipped to think deeply, live faithfully, and lead boldly.

Classical Education for Every Stage of Growth

Our classical approach is an intentional progression that nurtures your child’s mind, heart, and character from infancy through 8th grade. By weaving rich literature, Socratic dialogue, and hands‑on exploration into each age group, we cultivate learners who are curious, discerning, and confident.

Critical Thinking: Learn to analyze ideas & draw thoughtful conclusions.

Effective Communication: Build clarity & confidence in speech/writing.

Character Formation: Faith‑centered instruction instills core virtues.

Looking Ahead

PBCA continues to grow, with new locations and innovative programs on the horizon to meet the needs of West Palm Beach families.

Distinctively Christian

Every lesson and relationship is rooted in Scripture, placing Christ at the center of our values, character formation, and pursuit of truth.

Distinctively Classical

Our time-honored Trivium model trains students to think clearly, reason wisely, and speak persuasively through great books and Socratic dialogue.

Distinctively Community

Parents, teachers, staff, and students partner in a supportive, mission-driven culture where everyone is known, valued, and encouraged to flourish.

Family Church & PBCA

As a ministry of Family Church, PBCA embodies a shared vision of “home, church, and school” working together to build strong families. Rooted in our Lead Pastor’s neighborhood‑church model, each campus partners with a local pastor, speaks the neighborhood language, and serves families in context.

Together, Family Church and PBCA guide children and parents toward God’s design, fostering spiritual growth, academic excellence, and genuine community at every stage.
