Thank you to all of our families and friends for voting Palmetto Christian Academy the "Best Private School" three years in a row!
We are so honored to receive this distinction and genuinely appreciate your vote.
Here's what Mount Pleasant Magazine had to say about the Best Private School category..
"When people who live East of the Cooper are asked what they love most about life in these parts, they inevitably name "great schools!" as part of that list. Likewise, when we ask our readers to name the best private education that East Cooper has to offer, Palmetto Christian Academy tops that list."
Flip through the pages of the Mount Pleasant Magazine's "Best of 2017" edition and you'll find a fantastic article on
Palmetto Christian Academy featuring alumni Jacob Graudin and Courtney Holscher.
In addition to the wonderful story showcasing our school, you'll also notice our full page ad inside the magazine, shown below. Mount Pleasant Magazine's "Best Of 2017" edition hits the newsstands this week. Pick up your copy at Publix, Harris Teeter, CVS, and other various vendors.
