==History==

In 1954, PCCA's parent organization, Spencer, founded the school as a ministry exclusively for [[kindergarten|kindergarteners]], then called Methodist Country Kindergarten. The kindergarten became an academy in 1983, when the church opened PCCA to first through sixth grade students. Each year after that, it successively introduced one more grade level, until, in 1990, the first senior class graduated.<ref>[http://www.pccaonline.org/AboutPCCA_History.htm PCCA: History<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

To accommodate its broadened range of students, the Academy constructed the Family Life Center (FLC) in [[1985]] as its primary campus building, and the Family Life Center in [[2000]] as its elementary and middle school building. The academy also acquired a small facility adjacent to the main campus to house elective classes. [[The Beacon Foundation]], a non-profit group that supports PCCA, and the admissions office are located inside the Beacon House, an early-1900's Florida "[[cracker (pejorative)|cracker]]" style house. Many school functions occur on the adjacent Crawford field or in the Pine Castle United Methodist Church Sanctuary.

During the mid 2000s, PCCA grew: the entire school to over 600 students, about 200 of whom were high schoolers. The academy achieved its first state-level athletic victory in 2006; after three more state titles in the following year, all Pine Castle Christian Academy athletic teams were classified as 2A, except for football, which remained a 1B sport.
