About Prince Avenue Christian School
Prince Avenue Christian School provides a comprehensive college preparatory education with a Christian worldview for students in preschool through twelfth grades. We strive to equip our students with the truth, understanding, and discernment leading to life-changing transformation as they pursue the mind of Christ.
Founded in 1978 as an educational ministry of Prince Avenue Baptist Church, the school is located on a new campus in Bogart, Georgia and serves the surrounding community with approximately 750 students from thirteen different counties and over 122 different churches.
We offer a challenging curriculum in a stimulating educational environment with traditional courses in mathematics, science, social studies, Bible, foreign language, and language arts. Our core curriculum is supplemented with classes in fine arts and physical education, which encourage the expression of creativity and the development of athletic skills.

Because of our small size and rigorous college preparatory curriculum, Prince Avenue does not rank students. We believe that a cumulative ranking system is not a fair representation of a student’s relative achievement.
Prince Avenue Christian offers a challenging college preparatory program that promotes traditional Christian values, fosters academics, and actively promotes character training.
