In 2020, I began working as the Elementary Principal at Pacific Point Christian at a time when our school was struggling and the COVID crisis seemed to define our world. Against all odds, I developed great working relationships with the outstanding elementary staff, made connections with many of our wonderful families, and received advice and help from respected leaders. Instead of decreasing, our campus expanded, which is a testimony to the staff and their excellence. It has been a delight to witness the Lord deliver healing and bring strength to our team.
“Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright” (Proverbs 20:11, ESV).
I now serve as the Superintendent, and change and growth have caught an exciting momentum. I speak for the entire staff when I say, we desire to offer a welcoming, academically strong, and God-fearing school in and for the South Bay Area. Pacific Point Christian is a place where children will be challenged to grow emotionally, academically, and spiritually; this is critical for the success of our students in our ever-changing world.
With that stated, is there anyone who disagrees that social media and spending hours on a cell phone are harmful to a young person’s sensitive psyche? The statistics are clear: our children are being influenced and harmed by what they see and watch online. Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, Pacific Point Christian will require students to put their devices aside when in social settings and to use them solely under the supervision of our staff as a tool in class and for assignments. We care about your child’s emotional well-being and extra-curricular growth opportunities. We offer elective classes like music, worship band, physical education, STEM, robotics, art, computer sciences, photography, yearbook, gardening, gaming fundamentals, eSports/athletics, ASB, and field trips. In addition, we offer after-school clubs, such as LEGO, Culinary Chemistry, and more. As you visit us, you can explore our campuses, and you will learn about the activities offered at your specific location.
In addition, Pacific Point Christian Staff are focused on the academic excellence of our students by using Bob Jones, Summit, and ACSI curricula (to name a few) for our preschool, elementary, junior high, and high school.. Colossians 2:8 warns, “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ” (ESV). The challenging curriculum is based on Biblical teaching and inspires students to learn the information and understanding required as they progress to the next level.
Moreover, we are focused on the spiritual molding of your child by offering Bible courses and chapel time each week with worship music and a word from the Bible taught by respected pastors and laypeople within the local churches with which we have a relationship. Students are expected to demonstrate leadership qualities, develop and implement strategies for local community service outreach, and have a serving heart to contribute to the development of the school. Pacific Point Christian is a community school that encourages families to come alongside, support our mission, and become better equipped to face future opportunities and challenges. I believe the Lord appoints parents to “train up” their children in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). Our role is to assist parents in carrying out their responsibilities. We are so happy you are interested in Pacific Point Christian Schools and we can’t wait to meet you. If you are seeking an educational institution that can collaborate with you as you seek the Lord’s help in shaping your child’s emotional, academic, and spiritual growth, please call our office to set up an interview and a tour of our school.
