About

Providence Christian Academy (PCA) is an established, non-denominational, college preparatory Christian School committed to assisting parents in their God-given responsibility to rear and educate their children to know and serve God and His purposes.

Located in the Gainesville/Warrenton area of Northern Virginia, PCA offers a Christ-centered, rigorous education for students in grades Pre-K through 12th grade. Through small classes, a compassionate, but goal-oriented and structured teaching environment, and a reliance on faculty-parent-student fellowship, we strive to bring out the best in all students by helping them identify and develop their innate skills and abilities and equipping them with the tools they need to be successful students, lifelong learners, and devoted servants of Christ.

Our record of academic excellence is based on sound scholarship, passion for ministry and the Word of God. We rely on proven, comprehensive, interdisciplinary Christian curricula like Abeka and Bob Jones to foster critical thinking and a strong ability to reason and communicate effectively, both orally and in writing. PCA also encourages innovation and creativity through STEM and art projects.

PCA is governed by an independent board. We are affiliated with and a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and registered with the Commonwealth of Virginia as a member of Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE). PCA is approved by SEVIS to accept international students and approved by the NCAA. This has all been accomplished based on our high academic standards.

Currently, we serve approximately 160 students, and we also invite home school families to register for individual classes, who can then also participate in PCA chapel and/or any of our athletics and extracurricular activities.

PCA graduates have gone on to attend a number of top colleges and universities, including the University of Michigan, George Mason University, Liberty University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Longwood University, Pensacola Christian College and several Universities overseas.

We believe that Jesus Christ is God, that He is eternal and that about 2,000 years ago He came to earth in the form of man. At that time, He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary , and lived a sinless life as recorded in the Scriptures.

We believe that His primary purpose for coming to earth as the God-man was to become our sacrificial lamb, paying the penalty for our sins so that we might have the hope of eternal life. After His death, Jesus was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and after forty days of meeting with His followers following His resurrection, Jesus ascended into heaven where He is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, where He acts as our High Priest.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is God and indwells every believer. The Holy Spirit is responsible for convicting us of our sinfulness, God's righteousness (holiness, sinless perfection), and the coming day of judgement. To those who turn to God in belief for salvation, the Holy Spirit regenerates and sanctifies the believer from spiritual death to new life in Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit's work in the lives of Christians includes:

- Filling us with His presence and His attributes

- Interceding for us with the Holy God

- Sealing unto the day of our redemption

- Quickening us (Motivating us to the good works we are called to do)

- Guiding us in the many choices and decisions we face in life

- Bestowing upon us spiritual gifts by which we may serve Christ and His Church

We believe that by our sinful thoughts, words, and actions, the Holy Spirit can be quenched, grieved , lied to, resisted and blasphemed.
