Principle Approach School, established to provide Christian families with affordable biblical education.
Maximum Potential Christian Academy (MPCA) is a Pre-School through Sixth grade Classical Principle Approach School, established to provide Christian families with affordable biblical education
Principle Approach is a Christian Philosophy of education and life which places the truth of God’s Word at the heart of every academic subject. It is shaped around three fundamental principles. The first is the “Biblical idea of the child and that every child is uniquely created in the image of God and for His purpose. The second principle is God’s sovereignty in human life and history. Third, that liberty and human rights are a gift of God.
The vision of the Maximum Potential Christian Academy is to see men and women become leaders that love God, love our country, and are dedicated to preserving our Judeo-Christian culture based on Biblical values.
The Mission of the Maximum Potential Christian Academy is to teach each child according to his or her ability so that they reach their Maximum Academic Potential and fulfill God’s plan for their lives.
