How do I know if PCC is the best fit for my child?

The best way is to come and see for yourself! There’s nothing like being on campus to see where they’ll study, worship, eat, and relax. You can schedule a tour or plan to attend one of several visit events we host throughout the year. They’re designed to give you a feel for the atmosphere and community and help you make the best decision for your student.
