Organization History
Brief Background about Paramount Christian Academy (PCA).
My name is Amy Goodwin and I have been in the Education Field for over 25 years.
I was a Director for KinderCare for 11 years, training to become a District Manager, when the Lord led me to open Paramount Christian Academy at the church, I grew up in.
I began this journey, June 1, 2011. I had 3 months to create documents, set up classrooms, hire teachers, enroll students, etc.
PCA officially opened August 29, 2011. We had 42 students; offered Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten; and before and after school program- servicing 5 local Public Schools.
Today, we provide a Private Christian Academy serving Preschool-8th grade; currently serving 90 students and 13 staff members.
We have been approved to add High School, which is something we will be adding within the next year or two. The High School will not be a traditional setting. Instead, we will offer a service-learning HS. There will be a 4-year plan, internships, and student will graduate with the knowledge and training in their chosen career path.
Strategic Plan (3–5-year) - Parent Workshops, Implementing the High School Program, Enhancing Educational Excellence.
Our Association Christian Schools International renewal Accreditation Visit is in October 2022. We believe in providing the best education for the children and their families in our community. As an accredited school, we guarantee a high-quality educational experience, for all, who are involved in our outreach program.

Project Activities, Needs, & Objectives*
We are located close to Joint Base Lewis McChord, so we service several military families.
We just moved into a new location on August 29, 2022.
We are looking to expand our school and service many other students and families academically.
We are planing to open a service-learning High School for the 2023-2024 school year; where students have a FOUR YEAR PLAN in their career field. The majority of the last TWO years of High School will be internships with local businesses, in their chosen field. This way, when they graduate from High School they already have a long term plan and a career. There are no other Private Christian School options for this type of Education in our area.
This is a critical situation we are facing now a-days and we need to help students achieve their goals and aspirations, as they are our future Leaders,
Currently, Our plan is to purchase the building we are leasing within 18 months. There are three stories to the building (45K sq.ft in total) and we are on the first floor. In order to continue reaching more students and adding a High School we are looking for funding and to grow partnerships with people who believe in our vision and mission.
