What to Expect

Teachers, students, and parents come to you for answers. But sometimes you have questions, too.

Principals Clinic will help you find the answers from within the scope of traditional education.

In classroom observations, you’ll see firsthand

How teachers handle discipline
Ways to cover the Abeka material while maintaining personal style
How to integrate technology
Effective patterns for high school scheduling
Methods to keep students engaged

The classes we observed were excellent. The students serving as our hosts/hostesses were polite, friendly, mature, knowledgeable and overall delightful.

Note From the President

Pensacola Christian Academy has a rich heritage of 65 years in Christian education. Over that time, through the vision of Dr. and Mrs. Arlin Horton, we have developed tried-and-true methods for successfully operating a vibrant Christian school ministry.

Principals Clinic is designed to inspire principals, administrators, and pastors to greater servant-leadership and effectiveness, while offering in-depth solutions for common administrative procedures. Our skilled, professional staff will share invaluable knowledge and proven techniques so you’ll be thoroughly prepared in a variety of key topics. And the Office Management track for secretaries and office staff will greatly benefit your personnel.

Make plans early to attend! We would count it a privilege to help you build a more effective Christian school ministry for the Lord.

Join us for Principals Clinic 2019.
