Prince Avenue Christian School places great value on co-curricular opportunities as an integral part of a student’s holistic college preparatory experience.
The term “co-curricular” is deliberately used in the place of “extra-curricular” because opportunities such as fine arts, athletics, academic team, and service organizations are an important part of a Prince education, not simply an extra activity.
Spiritual Retreat
Each year, Prince sets aside intentional time for the entire middle school to step away from campus for a spiritual retreat. This retreat is designed to provide students with dedicated time for spiritual growth and building Christ-centered relationships away from the rigors of academics and co-curricular commitments.
Centered around a meaningful theme presented by a speaker, the retreat encourages students to reflect on their faith and how it shapes their daily lives. Small group discussions and fun recreation create opportunities for authentic conversation and lasting connections with classmates and faculty.
Community Ministry
Prince Avenue Christian School consistently looks for opportunities for the student body to minister to our community. Ministry opportunities are organized through school organizations, clubs, and classes, and all students are encouraged to participate. Some of these ministry opportunities are:
- Canned Food Drives
- Middle School Performing Arts Visits to Nursing Homes
- Letters to Service Members
- Third Thursday Food Bank
National Junior Honor Society
National Junior Honor Society is a national recognition program for middle school students who have excelled in academics, leadership, citizenship, character, and service. It provides an outlet for students to use their God-given gifts to serve in the community and in the school. Members pledge to maintain a high scholastic standing, to endeavor to be a Christ-like leader, and to give of themselves in service to others. Service projects members have participated in during the school year include a toiletry goods drive for the Sparrow’s Nest homeless shelter; a canned food drive for Athens; letters to servicemen and women overseas; new-student ice cream social, and others.
