Parkway Christian Academy (PCA) is expanding its campus with a 14,400 sq. ft. building for its upper school. PCA is doubling each grade level from K-7th grade (for the 2009-2010 school year) and is adding enrichment classes to its offerings. The school will add 15 new teachers for the new school year, including Dr. Paul Peak, who will develop Parkway Christian Academy’s School of Fine Arts.
Dr. Peak is a graduate of Shenandoah Conservatory of Music (BM), The University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music (MM), and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (DMA). The School of Fine Arts will offer classes in instrumental music and voice. A school band and orchestra will be developed. Other disciplines of the fine arts are planned for the future.
Meanwhile, work continues to complete the multi-million dollar expansion of Parkway Christian Academy, the first affiliate school of RENEWANATION. Renewanation is a new, non-profit organization whose mission is to build tuition-free, Christian school systems across the USA.
“We are excited to be a partner with Parkway Christian Academy and look forward to the day when we will be able to declare the school our first tuition free school. We also look forward to partnering with other Christian schools in the Roanoke Valley so that we can reach our 10-year goal of building the first tuition free, Christian school system in America,” said Jeff Keaton, Founder and Chairman of RENEWANATION.
Future capital expansion plans for PCA include a new gymnasium and cafeteria.
A ribbon cutting for the new building is planned for Sunday, August 30, 2:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.parkwaychristianacademy.org or www.renewanation.org.
