Tours on Thursday

Kids run the risk of going through life in a state of slumber, preoccupied with what they love (even when what they love is not always best). They need to be awakened from beyond themselves with engagement that is full of affection, ancient in wisdom, and relevant to their understanding.

Petra Academy awakens love and wonder in our students through inspiring and rigorous academics, a growing array of artistic and athletic extra-curriculars, low teacher/student ratios, and a school culture dedicated to cultivating truth, goodness, and beauty. Take a tour and learn more!
