In today's world, the proper education of children remains ever important. In response to this concern, Pacific Crest Academy opened its doors September of 1999 in Camas, Washington with the goal of providing students with an excellence based educational opportunity in the Catholic tradition. Pacific Crest Academy received its approval as a Catholic School from Archbishop Alex J. Brunett of the Archdiocese of Seattle in July 2002. Students at Pacific Crest are both cherished and challenged in their academic pursuit.

Academic excellence is the primary goal of Pacific Crest. However, we believe that the educational environment needs to go beyond this - where "knowledge set in the context of faith becomes wisdom and life vision." Our mission supports parents in their task of forming their children by presenting knowledge to be attained, values to be acquired and truths to be discovered.

Authentic formation is rooted in teaching the intellect, educating the heart and forming the character, thus shaping virtuous and well-rounded lovers of learning and searchers of truth, goodness and beauty.

The school is firmly committed to providing a profound, balanced, personal and lasting formation.

This method of formation assists students in cultivating their gifts and talents by addressing four distinct dimensions: academic, spiritual, human and apostolic. We achieve these goals under the direction of an experienced and dedicated teaching staff, who in partnership with parents, carry out this task each day.

At Pacific Crest, students are given the tools to understand the learning process, the attention, challenge and encouragement they need to experience success.

The educating community provides the example of faith and love to inspire students to actively promote each other's progress and to place their gifts at the service of each other, the Church, and the community. Thus, we educate and form true Christian leaders of tomorrow, a leaven to renew society as a whole.
