Our Story
For over five decades, Penn Christian Academy has been dedicated to educating children through quality Christian academics and values. Founded in 1966 as Penn Square Christian Day School, the institution began with just 17 nursery school children. Over the years, it expanded its offerings to include kindergarten, elementary, and eventually high school and college preparatory classes. The vision of the founding headmaster, Richard G. Johnson, was to create a nurturing environment that ministers to the whole child. In 1980, the school was reorganized as Penn Christian Academy, an independent, non-denominational Christian school, and has since relocated to the historic Penn Square School building, ensuring a legacy of excellence in education.
