Early history
Pioneer Christian Academy was founded in 1969 through the vision and ministry of Dr. J. Frank Bruce and his realization of a need for private Christian education. 32 acres (130,000 m2) of land was soon donated in the Whites Creek area. Dr. Bruce was instrumental in the founding of many other local Christian schools in the state of Tennessee.
