STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
Our Commitment
PHAA is committed to partnering with families to provide their children a Christian education. Some parents think it is impossible, so never consider it. Many families have been able to successfully educate their children in a Christian school who initially thought they couldn’t. Thank you for reaching out us to discuss an opportunity about how it can be done. Please contact us at 925-934-9261 or principal@myphaa.com.
