History
Pantego Bible Church opened the school in 1963 on a 7-acre site between Arlington and Pantego. In 1996 the church and school began separate financial operations, and in 1997 the school became an independent school, purchasing the Pantego Bible Church facilities for its use, while the church built facilities at a new location. In 2008, PCA continued to expand its facilities by purchasing the adjacent Stripling & Cox building to use as a high school. PCA recently celebrated its 50th anniversary.
