Pusch Ridge Christian Academy's mission is to teach our students to become like Christ and be transformed so they might impact the world now and in the future. We seek to partner with families to give their child an excellent education based on the Word of God, while also supporting them to discover their unique, God-given purpose. Learn about our covenantal approach to partnering with our families.
For the 2024-2025 School Year
We are accepting applications for Kindergarten through 3rd grade at our South Campus.
Please note that we are full in all grades except Kindergarten on the Grammar and Upper Campuses.
Applying to PRCA involves three steps. It includes the online application, an assessment, and invitation to interview. Depending on seat availability and the amount of applications received, an applicant may not move through all the steps.
You will create an account when you complete the initial application. The non-refundable application fee is $75.
Once the initial inquiry and/or application is processed, you will be issued a checklist of required items to submit in order for the application to be considered complete. This checklist will be updated online as documents are submitted.

All grades (except DK) will have to complete a grade level assessment to determine academic readiness.
South and Grammar Campus Assessment Once the application is complete and reviewed, Kinder applicants will be invited to an assessment (Kinder Round Up or Junta). In grades 1-5, after the application is reviewed, applicants will be invited to an assessment once seats become available.
Due to an increase in applicants and limited seat availability, an applicant may remain in this step for an undetermined time.
Upper Campus ISEE Entrance Exam
At the Upper Campus, applicants may register for the ISEE exam, while turning in all required documents. The cost is $155 which is payable to ERB. Testing dates and registration directions are found within the checklist online.
Due to an increase in applications and limited seats available, not all applicants will be invited to interview. The most qualified applicants will be invited first. Note that an interview does not guarantee enrollment.
Pusch Ridge Christian Academy does not discriminate on the basis of gender, nationality, or race of its students in the administration of its educational policies, the awarding of financial aid, or any of its other school-administered programs.
The mission of Pusch Ridge Christian Academy is to teach our students to become like Christ through a classical, Christian education within a covenantal community.
