Library Services
The Library at PCS plays a vital role in the total educational program of the school. Providing a program of services and resources, the library enhances the academic curriculum and addresses the interest and abilities of students. The PCS Library strives to provide materials that encourage spiritual and intellectual growth as well as help students appreciate their cultural, social, and political heritage. Above all else, our goal is to help students develop a lifelong love of reading. All grades have scheduled library periods. Teachers may also schedule library time for students when assignments require research through books, reference material, and the internet. The library is open to all students during its regularly scheduled hours whenever there are no classes taking place. PCS students also participate in the Accelerated Reader program. Students select and read a wide variety of books that they select based on their interests. After reading, they take computerized quizzes that assess whether they completed and understood the book. There are classroom as well as library incentives to reach milestones.
Currently, the library has I-Pads to be used for research, Accelerated Reader quizzes, and searching for books.
Our library currently holds over eight thousand books and has the capacity to double its titles. We are continually adding to our collection and we gratefully accept donations during the year. Annual Scholastic Book Fairs take place twice per year to help encourage students to keep on reading.
Library Hours: M, T, F: 8:00am - 3:30pm

Academic Support Services
Students at PCS are offered Academic Support Services through our tutoring program, homework club, and special learning support department. Tutoring is a period of one-on-one individual instruction to help students experience success, and find self confidence in areas where they are having difficulty.
The cost is currently $17.00 per half-hour session.
For information about academic support, please call the school office at 805.934.1253 or email Cindy Pinzon at cpinzon@mypcschool.net.
Homework club is a part of our afterschool care program and is offered M-Th weekly. Students sit with our staff and a team of student volunteers from St. Joseph's High School and complete their homework together. There is no advanced sign up necessary. Simply instruct your child to go to daycare and sit with the homework club from 3:30-4:15pm.
Our special learning department supports over 45 students with special learning needs to access regular education and succeed here at PCS. If you think your child has any special learning considerations, start by emailing our assistant principal, Aleea Armijo at aarmijo@pacificchristianschool.net. She can walk you through the process of accessing support from us and a variety of community partners. We are a full inclusion school, meaning we support students with accommodations and modifications and support teachers with the tools, resources and training necessary for student success in the regular education classroom.
