Student Life

at Portsmouth Christian Academy

Building Community Outside the Classroom

At PCA, students have the opportunity to take part in a number of extracurricular activities and events. Middle and Upper School students enjoy the opportunity to compete in more than 20 different interscholastic athletics.  Lower School students participate in workshops and activities as part of the kaleidoscope program. Our music program provides multiple levels of band, orchestra and chorus for student participation.  Theatre and art opportunities abound.

Student Life at PCA reaches beyond athletics and the fine arts to include a wide variety of programs, student clubs, small groups, student council, community projects, mission trips, and events.
