Potomac Heights Christian Academy has set forth educational objectives, which will promote and provide for the building of sound Christian character in all ages. Recognizing that mans chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, it is without apology that we make our foremost objective that of preparing minds and bodies spiritually to know God personally and become all that He expects and desires His children to be in all facets of life.
The curriculum that we use encourages students to think clearly, logically, and independently. A major priority of the Academy is that students are taught the importance of self-discipline and self-control. Both of these tenets are to be sought after and practiced daily.
Potomac Heights Christian Academy believes in an early academic foundation stressing the 3 Rs, with learning basic skills, study habits, and motor skill development being most essential. Such an academic stage is set in our primary grades and blended with Christian character and citizenship. As the student progresses through the various stages of academic development and advances from grade to grade, this blending of Christian character, citizenship, and academics continues.
