Private School in Montgomery County PA

Philadelphia Montgomery Christian Academy, Erdenheim:
Philadelphia Montgomery Christian Academy is committed to upholding Christian values in an educational environment that encourages student development from our school in Erdenheim in the Springfield Township in Montgomery County, just north of Philadelphia. What sets Phil-Mont apart from other college prep, academically-rigorous schools is the fact that, while we too are committed to excellent scholarship, we uphold the Bible as the living core of the academy’s program. This means that every subject of the curriculum, from the Pre-K child to the high school student, is taught from a distinctly Christian perspective and in relation to the Word of God. It also requires us to seek excellence in every area of instruction, whether on the athletic field, on the stage or in the chemistry lab. Contact us today and ensure your child receives a true Christian education.

- Our Proud Christian Faculty
Our outstanding faculty is composed of committed Christians, 47 percent of whom hold advanced degrees, and whose average tenure with Phil-Mont is 13 years.  Our small class sizes and 9:1 student-teacher ratio ensure that each student gets the attention he or she requires in order to excel academically.

- Proven Record
The results speak for themselves: 98 percent of our graduates go on to four-year colleges, with 75 percent receiving at least one award or scholarship, and 50 percent graduating as members of the National Honor Society. Perhaps the greatest evidence of our success however lies in the generations of graduates who have gone forth in the world as thoughtful, responsible, and biblically literate stewards of God’s gifts and callings.

- Arts at PMCA
Wonder, beauty, and awe are words which describe how students witness God's majesty through studies in the fine arts at Phil-Mont. Instrumental music, choral music, painting, drawing, sculpting and the theatre arts become venues for student expression and creativity. Our students don't simple perform artistically; they learn the discipline and purpose of artistic expression. The Phil-Mont theatre arts department, recognized as one of the finest in the area, produces musicals and classical dramatic productions concluding its school year with a very popular Shakespeare Festival. Phil-Mont is committed to the arts, believing the students' artistic expressions promote a well-rounded education.

- Athletics at PMCA
Phil-Mont brings the spirit of athletic competition to all students who desire to participate, not just to the exceptional athlete. In an average year three fourths of our students participate in one of our sports which include: cross country, tennis, soccer, wrestling, basketball, baseball, softball, and track. Our coaches are recruited in order to teach fundamental skills to athletes as they emphasize good sportsmanship and Christ-like character development. Coaching doesn't end at the last whistle of the game; it is pervasive as coaches care about the players personally and strive to bring practical life experiences to the athletes whenever possible. Developing skills, learning the value of working faithfully and hard, team play and the delight found in competition become part of the experience for all students who participate.
