“To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen” Philippians 4:20

Park Row Christian Academy has operated at the same location on Park Row Drive in Arlington, Texas since 1968. PRCA has evolved from a Thursday school for preschoolers into a five-day-a-week preschool and elementary school. Hundreds of teachers have taught thousands of students from Arlington, Mansfield, and other surrounding cities. 

The original “Children’s Center” was started by a group of volunteer women. In order to be licensed by the State of Texas, the founding board was required to show that there was a need in the community for an early childhood center in Arlington. Fortunately, the Children’s Center pre-registered 100 students the very first time they advertised the school! The mission was to help children grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. 

In 1999, after receiving donations of $2.5 million, the Children’s Center moved into new, expanded, and remodeled preschool and kindergarten facilities. Continuing in the tradition of excellent, foundational education, a first-grade class was added in 2000 and Park Row Christian Academy was born! Today, the academy provides Christian-based education to students in grades K-6. It is in the process of expanding into 7th-grade and middle-school education for the upcoming school year.

In 2007, Park Row Christian Academy earned its dual accreditation from NCSA and SACS. In 2012 the school began a Homeschool Enrichment Program to fulfill a need for homeschool families.

Since God has richly blessed and sustained the school, Park Row Christian Academy continues to provide affordable, Christian education in a nurturing and safe environment.
