Relocation And Expansion Update Monday October 26, 2009
Relocation and Expansion • Every existing PCA family must be able to continue to come to the new location if they wish to e.g. transportation needs like busing, child care, review school start time etc.. - Questions to Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) e-mail topac@pca.ca
Relocation and Expansion • PCA must be able to finance its relocation and expansion - Lease to buy option - would not be able to negotiate the same deal now due to real estate market price gone up recently - “A Legacy of Learning” Capital Campaign - PCA Promissory Note - We Love PCA Club - PMI support
Relocation and Expansion • There is a great need for Christ-Centred Education that is excellent and affordable - emphasis on Christian based principles that do not exist in public schools even in Catholic schools - becoming an Advanced Placement (AP) school for our High school students - Accelerated Integrated Method (AIM) French Program for our Elementary school students - maintain an affordable tuition
Relocation and Expansion • We want PCA families with pre-schoolers not to have to drive to two different locations. - Early Childhood education is in the planning stage - Also, we want to provide opportunities for families who would normally not send their kids through Christian education
Relocation and Expansion • We must prepare for future growth especially with recent developments among Christian schools • Large outdoor green field for outdoor programs where possible - provide a balanced environment in academic and for physical well beings
