Paideia Classical Academy was founded by Christian families in the Golden Triangle who desired this kind of education for their own children: one rooted in biblical truth, shaped by a love for excellence, and strengthened by the partnership between school and home.
We believe Christ is Lord over all of life, and education should reflect that reality. At PCA, students are not merely taught information. They are formed in virtue, integrity, and excellence.
Our desire is to cultivate the minds, souls, and bodies of children to the glory of God and for the good of our families, churches, city, and generations to come.
Welcome to Paideia Classical Academy. We are grateful that you are taking the time to learn who we are and what we believe God has called us to pursue.
When my wife, Emilee, and I began discerning how we would educate our children, we were deeply shaped by Pastor Voddie Baucham’s reminder in Family Driven Faith: “We cannot continue to send our children to Caesar for their education and be surprised when they come home as Romans.” That conviction led us to gather with several like‑minded families a few years later, forming a homeschool cooperative that has grown into what is now Paideia Classical Academy.
I am deeply grateful for each member of our founding families. You have given generously of your time, your gifts, and your love, and the Lord has used your faithfulness to build Paideia Classical Academy from the ground up.
One of my personal goals for our school is to help reverse the troubling trend that nearly two‑thirds of practicing Christian teenagers stop attending church during their college years. We believe that a Christ‑centered, academically rich, parent‑partnered model is one of the most effective ways to cultivate lifelong faithfulness.
Our hybrid model is built on a simple conviction: children flourish when Christ‑centered teaching, joyful academic rigor, and intentional partnership with parents work together in harmony. Our founding families come from a wide range of educational backgrounds, and we are convinced that the hybrid model at PCA will allow your children, your families, and our communities to thrive.
Here, students are formed not only in knowledge but in character. We seek to cultivate hearts that love truth, minds that think clearly, and lives shaped by Scripture. Whether on campus or at home, our aim is to support families as they disciple their children toward maturity in Christ.
As you explore our website, I hope you gain a clear picture of our mission, our values, and the kind of community we strive to be. If you sense that this may be the right place for your family, we would be honored to walk with you as you take the next steps.
Grace and peace,
Zachary Senn
Chairman of the Board
