[edit] Early history
Pioneer Christian Academy was founded in 1969 through the vision and ministry of Dr. J. Frank Bruce and his realization of a need for private Christian education. 32 acres of land was soon donated in the Whites Creek area. Dr. Bruce was instrumental in the founding of many other local Christian schools in the state of Tennessee.

Pioneer's graduates are continuing their lives throughout the country and, in some cases, throughout the world as pastors, missionaries, teachers, homemakers, engineers, mechanics, scientists, doctors, etc.
