Lead with R.O.A.R.S.

Can others hear the Lion in you?

At Penn Christian Academy, our goal is to enable our students to become disciplined stewards of their own mind, body and spirit.  We recognize that this is not possible in our human strength.  Psalm 34:10 affirms this truth, “Even strong lions get weak and hungry, but those who go to the Lord for help will have every good thing.”  It is our desire that children begin to think, act and speak as Jesus would.  This is the kind of life that has power to influence others for God’s glory.  These are the leaders that our world desperately needs.

Penn Christian Academy has developed five guiding principles for behavior that are grounded in scripture.  These principles are designed to develop a school culture that honors God and provides a nurturing atmosphere for students.  Because we are the Penn Christian Academy Lions, the acronym ROARS defines those principles.  These are the expectations of student conduct.
