Grade 7 - 8
Peoples Christian Academy is committed to maintaining high academic, personal and spiritual standards in the classroom, in extra-curricular activities and in all school relationships. We believe that education encompasses spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical development. For Grades 7 and 8 students specifically, PCA provides a safe, nurturing environment and a well-balanced curriculum that will equip them for the rigours of our high school program while offering many opportunities for Christian growth, fellowship and service.
In 2008, 89% of our graduates were Ontario Scholars and 100% were accepted at the post secondary institution of their choice. On the standardized tests taken by Grades 3, 5, 7 and 9, over 90% of our students were above the Canadian norm in all tests.
Special notice: PCA High School is beginning an Advanced Placement (AP) Program starting Sept 2011-2012. The Advanced Placement courses provide students with the opportunity to try university-level work in high school, and to gain valuable skills and study habits for post-secondary education. If students earn a "qualifying" grade on the AP Exam, usually a score of 4 or 5 out of 5,many colleges and universities worldwide will give students credit and/or advanced placement for their achievement. In the US, many colleges will let students start college as a sophomore, provided the students meet their AP requirements. Registration for AP Exams occurs in early March and the exams are written the first two weeks of May.
