7.   Declining enrollment means decreased school revenue  Decreased revenue necessitates operational cuts to ensure budget is balanced  Cuts impact school programs, curtail our ability to make improvements, and impact the amount of financial aid we can offer  Need to bolster PCA value proposition to retain families and attract new students

10.   Develop relationships with PCA ministry partners  Identify individuals who believe in the PCA mission and feel called to support Christian education  Pursue alternative revenue streams  Establish International Student program

11.   A growing number of Christian schools are enrolling international students  International students want to attend high school in the US so they are prepared to attend college in the US  Advantages to PCA include:  Diversify our student body  Give PCA students opportunities to interact with students from other countries  Provide opportunities to lead non-Christian international students to a saving knowledge of Christ  Provide a cross-cultural experience for PCA, CBC, or other Christian families in the community who would like to host an international student for a year  Generate revenue for investment in PCA

12.   Enroll 5 freshmen students per year with expectation they will stay for four years of high school  Steady-state of 20 students achieved by year 4  Students to be housed with Christian families from the area  PCA was inspected by Homeland Security in April and was cleared to enroll students in June  Moving forward to recruit students for next year  Revenue from international program will allow us to make strategic investments in PCA
