The purpose of Promise Prep. Academy is to provide an education, in support of the Christian family, in which students can grow in Christian character, academic achievement, personal development and social responsibility. To help fulfill this purpose, the faculty and staff commit to model Christ and to adhere to educational integrity, accuracy and excellence. With the Scriptures as our foundation, we seek to challenge our students to think critically from a Christian life and worldview and to prepare them to live successfully as godly men and women in the world.
We desire to serve our school family. We will take the mindset of Christ (Philippians 2:5- 7) by seeking to meet the needs of our families. We will accomplish this by providing a safe, secure environment. We will work to provide an atmosphere that is wholesome and Christ-honoring.
Overall, PPA exists to further God’s work in this world. We will work to train the leaders of the future. Through the students and families that are touched by this ministry, we are trusting God to impact our world. We thank God for His faithfulness in providing students, teachers, and finances during this time and the years to come. This is truly His work, established to provide an education that is Christ-centered as an extension of the Christian home.
The administration, faculty, and staff of PPA consists of individuals who are all dedicated to providing the environment and conditions for the teaching of each student.
This is toward the end goal of meeting the challenges they will face in the world intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually upon their departure from Promise Preparatory Academy.
PPA teachers are recruited with an eye toward not only academic teach ability, but also to cultivate an emotional and spiritual support having a genuine love for children. Our faculty and staff consider their positions a privilege in working with each student and in meeting their individual needs toward optimal learning.
