We are delighted to announce that Palmetto Christian Academy was once again voted "Best Private School" by the readers of Mount Pleasant Magazine! That's 7 years in a row! This year, our school also received special recognition in a few new categories: PCA won "Best School To Adapt To COVID", and our school nurses, Tricia Turner and Ashli Rushing were voted among the favorite school nurses in the area! What an honor and a great testament to our school's leadership throughout the pandemic.

A huge thank you to our families and friends who voted for our school. We sincerely appreciate your support! 

Building A Brighter Tomorrow Through An Hour Of Code

Lower School STEM was full STEAM ahead as students participated in the international Hour of Code event last week. What is the Hour of Code? According to their website, it is, "a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts." 

Backed by partners "including Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Boys and Girls Clubs of America and the College Board, it is an international event that encourages students to be more involved in computer science."

While in STEM, PCA students from kindergarten to 5th grade participated in a variety of coding activities learning basic coding skills through online sites that walked students through coding patterns by way of music, characters, and matching beats. 

STEM teacher Ellen Peek said, "the students were thrilled to complete each coding challenge. This event illuminated strengths in students they didn't know they had and I saw a new sense of self-confidence as they completed the different challenges."
