Academics
High School
Pacific Christian Academy offers High School students a quality academic program with a Christian worldview. Many students follow the Advanced Placement track and attend four-year universities following graduation.
PCA offers Dual Enrollment courses to qualifying 10th – 12th grade student through Grand Canyon University.  Student may enroll in online AP courses as well through various online companies.
Students begin each year with a spiritual get-away called Advance. This time away provides the opportunity for them to draw closer to God, bond with classmates, and get to know their teachers on a more personal level. Throughout the year, students attend daily Bible classes, weekly chapels, and participate in quarterly outreach opportunities in our community.
In addition to quarterly community outreach, students participate in activities such as job shadow opportunities, Honor Society, and Student Council. Teachers offer academic support and club participation during lunch.
Vocational Project
Once again, it is time for our high school students to be completing a vocational project. This project is a tool to help students thoughtfully study what type of career they want to pursue later in life and fulfills the Washington State CTE graduation requirement.
Below you will find the vocational letter and individual grades for completing the project:

10th Grade
As a 10th grader at Pacific Christian Academy, students develop socially, spiritually, and academically as expectations and responsibilities are increased inside and outside of the classroom. The 10th grade year is highlighted by the many experiments the students participate in during one of Mrs. Cho’s amazing science classes, as well as the critical thinking and debate that takes place in one of the Socratic Seminars during 10th grade English. Students have more opportunities in leadership positions, whether on the field, on the praise team, in the classroom, or as a student leader. Spiritually, the students are challenged to grow in their walk with Christ in Bible classes which are designed to disciple them and help them discover their individual God-given destiny.

12th Grade
Senior......the last leg of the high school journey! This is the year of putting the final touches on each student as they become a PCA graduate. Students are guided through the college and scholarship application process and each is discipled throughout the year to grow spiritually as the person God has created him/her to be. Each one is encouraged to finish the race strong.
At PCA, our vision is to develop students who are servant leaders, equipped with a biblical worldview, and a heart for all people. The year begins with an incredible life-changing mission trip to Dream Center in Los Angeles, CA. Through this trip, students grow in their personal relationship with Christ as well as their ability to reach out to all people with the love of Christ and a servant's heart.
The Senior year is finished with a special time of speaking blessings over each individual senior in a personalized and special awards and recognition ceremony as we launch them onto the next step in their journey as PCA Alumni.
Graduation is personal and memorable as each student leaves PCA to continue to fulfill the destiny God placed in their heart.
