Palmetto Christian Academy of Greenwood is a non-denominational, parent-governed,  K4-12 college preparatory school. We believe that God has given parents the primary responsibility for educating their children. When parents choose to enroll their children in Palmetto Christian Academy, they do not abdicate that responsibility but rather join with the school in obeying God’s command. In 2007, a group of concerned parents recognized the need for a Christian school that understands and honors this relationship and is committed to academic excellence.  Out of that concern, Palmetto Christian Academy was born.

Academic excellence involves more than the simple transmission of knowledge. At Palmetto Christian Academy we seek to instill in our students a passion for learning that will go beyond merely preparing them for college and career. The faculty, staff and administration are committed to preparing the whole student for all areas of life; academic, physical, social and spiritual.  Our desire is to prepare our students for the call God has placed on their lives; to excel in their studies, even as they mature in the Christian faith.

Palmetto Christian Academy offers an environment in which students are nurtured in the historic Christian faith, challenged to grow in their understanding of the faith, and encouraged to take ownership of their relationship to God. This is accomplished through classes in Bible and Christian thought and by teaching our students to look through the lens of Scripture in all subjects to determine what is true, that is, to develop a Christian worldview.  We understand the important role that modeling and mentoring has in the development of Christian character and lifestyle. All of our faculty and staff are chosen not just for their academic or technical expertise, but also for their ability to model their faith and share their lives with students.

Though there are many denominational differences, Palmetto Christian Academy embraces the common Christian belief that godly living must be in accordance with the word of God and can only be accomplished through the power of the Holy Spirit. God’s calling upon our students involves more than a personal call to faith; it is also God’s call to our students to honor him by becoming good citizens, responsible family members and faithful members of His church. It is our desire to glorify God by enabling our students to respond faithfully to God’s call on their lives.
