Frequently Asked Questions

At Prince of Peace Christian School, we believe in sharing God's love in a challenging world and, as such, we do not require a statement of faith to be part of the POPCS community.  All students participate in weekly chapel services and study the Bible and Christian faith through daily faith and theology lessons.
