Palmer Catholic Academy was founded in 1997 to provide our children and our community
with a quality education within a loving Catholic environment.
The foundation of our educational program is developmental learning, language arts,
mathematics, science, and social studies. In addition, physical education, secondary
language, music, art, computer science, and special events are integrated into the
curriculum. These educational instruments are enhanced by daily religious instruction
and prayer intended to strengthen the learning process and give our children a well
rounded Catholic Christian education.
