About Pungo
Christian Academy
- The
school was founded in 1968.
This is our 40th year of operation.
- The
average teacher-student ratio in our
class is 1-8.
- The
Academy has a strong academic
curriculum. The A Beka
Program is used in grades K3-8.
There is heavy emphasis on preparation
for college for students. At least
95 percent of our graduates (and often
all of the graduates from a class)
continue their education at one of our
major colleges or universities.
- We at
the Academy emphasize parental
involvement and encourage parents to
volunteer in our classrooms. We
have an active Academy Education
Association composed of parents and
faculty members. We also have an
active Booster Club that not only
administers the complete sports program
of the Academy but also sponsors
projects and activities for the
elementary students.
- Because
of the small size of our student body
and the fact that the school is housed
in one building, there is a close
relationship among the students of
all ages. The older students serve
as positive role models for the
younger children.
- The
Academy is on a six-weeks marking
period with report cards going out
at that time. In addition to
regular report cards, students in the
primary grades take home folders
containing their homework, classwork,
and tests each week. All other
students are given a progress report
in each class three weeks after report
cards.
- Hot
lunches are available every day through
the cafeteria.
- The
Academy sponsors several fundraising
projects throughout the year.
Participating in these projects is not a
requirement, but is strongly encouraged
since the tuition pays only a portion of
the total operational costs of the
Academy.
- Extra
Curricular Activities: The
Academy sports program includes JV and
Varsity Volleyball for girls; Soccer for
boys in the fall; Basketball in the
winter - JV Boys, JV Girls, Varsity
Girls and Varsity Boys. In the
Spring we have Softball for girls and
Baseball for boys.
