Excellant school for kids from kindergarten to 12th grade. They are doing M-F in class sessions from 7:55 to 2:35. No remote learning so far. The kids really benefit from this. It is a bible based christian school so please consider this before sending your kids to the school. If you are not a believer, consider where you're at in your religious and spiritual believes before enrolling your kids. If you do not believe the lord died on the cross for our sins then maybe this is not the school for you.

My son is currently entering his 3rd year at PVCA and we couldn't be more blessed to have found this true hidden gem! The school is a true community, the teachers, staff and fellow parents all look out for each other. The education is absolutely second to none, the children are reading by the end of first grade, which surpasses most public school standards in the surrounding areas. I truly can not say enough good things about PVCA, it is a true dream come true, as a single mom, to drop my son off and know he is in such wonderfully kind, enthusiastic and loving environment that teaches to the Bible

Our three children have received an excellent education at PVCA. Their minds, hearts, souls, and bodies are daily nurtured and instructed by qualified (and dedicated) faculty.
