FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

We are pleased to offer you an overview of Parkside Christian Academy's academic tradition of excellence, and a brief look at the faculty and students who so enthusiastically teach and learn here. Parkside is a non-denominational Christian school that is focused on ministering to the whole child. We do so by supporting the mastery of basic skills and accelerating learning in order to prepare extraordinary students for extraordinary challenges. Our goal is to provide a Christian environment that is safe, supportive and challenging in all areas of academics and the basics of the Christian faith. We are committed to ministering to the Head (Academic), Heart (Spiritual Walk), and Hand (Practical Skills) of our students. --- Rev. Dr. Michael Dixon
