Our Story

Since 1968, Park Row Christian Academy has faithfully served the Arlington, Texas community from its location on Park Row Drive. What began as a one-day-a-week preschool program has grown into a thriving five-day-a-week preschool and elementary school, welcoming students from Arlington, Mansfield, and surrounding cities. Over the years, hundreds of teachers have invested in the lives of thousands of students, helping to lay strong foundations both academically and spiritually.

The school’s beginnings trace back to a group of volunteer women who saw a need for early childhood education in Arlington. In order to receive state licensing, the founding board needed to demonstrate local demand. Their very first enrollment advertisement brought in 100 pre-registered students — a clear sign of God’s provision and community support. From the start, the mission has remained focused on helping children grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

In 1999, through God’s continued blessings and generous donations totaling $2.5 million, the original "Children’s Center" expanded into new, remodeled facilities for preschool and kindergarten. Building on this strong foundation, a first-grade class was added in 2000, and Park Row Christian Academy officially came into being. Today, PRCA offers a Christ-centered education for students in Kindergarten through 6th grade, with plans to expand into 7th grade and middle school for the upcoming school year.

In 2007, Park Row Christian Academy earned dual accreditation from NCSA and SACS, further affirming its commitment to academic and spiritual excellence. In 2012, the school introduced a Homeschool Enrichment Program to serve the growing needs of homeschool families in the community.

Through God’s abundant grace, Park Row Christian Academy continues to provide affordable, high-quality Christian education in a nurturing, safe, and faith-filled environment.
