The PCS Difference
Parent-sponsored
Unlike public education where you have little input into your child’s education, PCS partners with parents to provide a quality education. We believe parents play a key role in their child’s development, and parents are actively involved in the activities of our school.
Classical Model
This model of education helps students create a love for learning. It builds a foundation of knowledge, develops their ability to use logic and reasoning skills, and communicate their knowledge persuasively. It also helps students to integrate their faith and education into their life.
Commitment to Faith
All families involved in our school agree with our Statement of Faith and attend a local Bible believing church. This ensures a school-wide commitment to faith and values, rather than just a commitment on the part of the staff.
Cultivating students who love God, discern truth, and value beauty
We are in a world that is moving away from Christ and Christian values. Our public education instills values and teaches principles that contradict our faith. Perhaps you are looking for an alternative to public schools because you want your child to be surrounded by faith and values that align with yours. You may have considered homeschooling (or even tried it), but it’s not meeting your family’s needs.
You know that your child needs a solid education in order to be prepared for college or their next steps after graduation. And you desire for your child to be rooted in their faith and be able to intelligently defend it in our post-Christian culture.
At PCS, we take our work seriously to prepare the next generation to lead the church in the future. We believe when the parents and the school partner together, we can cultivate students who love God, discern truth, and value beauty. Upon graduation, these students will be ready to enter the world with a solid education and a stable faith.
What Parents Are Saying
PCS has allowed us to fulfill our goal as parents: to have our child’s education and faith be weaved into their entire lives. Recently my son was participating in ski club through the school and was singing the Timeline Song with a friend while they skied. Then he asked me questions and engaged in conversation about it with me later that night. This is it! This is what we want for our son’s education.
We chose to send our children to PCS when we realized that homeschooling wasn’t working well for our family. We loved being able to teach our kids our Christian values but when we welcomed our 5th baby into our family, we decided we needed some help. PCS has provided us with teachers and a community of like minded parents that shared our Christian values and biblical world view. In this environment our children have been able to grow academically and spiritually and we have received the support we needed as parents. PCS has been a huge blessing to our family.
We have a vision of graduating students who …
Love God
Love Others
Love Learning
Discern Truth
Embody Virtues
Value Beauty
Engage Culture
I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am today without my time at Penobscot Christian. The classical Christian education I received when I attended taught the value in critical thinking and letting history teach and guide you. We were also taught how to think, not what to think, which is a lost art in this generation.
PCS’s focus on writing, English, and on the formation of critical thinking skills allowed me to be well prepared for entrance into college and all the subsequent interviews and applications for jobs and scholarships. Being able to articulate what I am thinking both effectively and clearly is a skill that I was taught at PCS, mainly through extensive familiarity with sentence structure and how to organize, on paper, my thought process.
The rigorous academics and encouraged extracurriculars at PCS prepared me for the intensity of higher education. Although the assignments and exams were an important part of my growth there, the most important thing I continue to lean on from my time at PCS is the cultivation of my faith and the community of believers I found a home in.
