Educators Are Change Makers

Craig Kielburger is a young children’s rights activist from Thornhill Ontario. In dialogue magazine, a publication of “Our Kids Media”, Craig makes this statement: “Educators are some of the most influential people in the world because they shape how a child looks at society, and that shapes the future generation in how they vote, shop, consume and make lifestyle choices.” It’s not a new observation, of course. Advertisers – book sellers, soft drink companies, candy companies and others – have for years exploited the powerful influence that educational leaders have over children.

At Peoples Christian Academy we take this awesome responsibility seriously. Our concern for the children’s future is not so much how they shop or vote (even though we don’t deny that even in matters of the mundane our influence has impact).  Our concern is that the divine principles of God’s Word, imparted through modeling and declaring the Truth through the years of the children’s educational career, will be what informs their ideas, lifestyle and actions when they become adults.

PCA can proudly point to many of its alumni who are difference makers in their adult lives.  Those alumni quite readily point to the strong influence their teachers have had in shaping their character and leading them to view the world through a lens of compassion and hope.

The goal of our Mission Statement statement, producing students “whose lives glorify God” is fulfilled over and over again through the life-commitment of our graduates.
