History

Pasig Christian Academy began humbly as a nursery and kindergarten school in 1986 with the name Sunbeam Playschool and Grade School which was taken from a hymn that says, "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam". Enrollment was only a dozen in a one-storey building with four (4) spacious rooms. The center housed a playroom and a library/music room,and the side rooms were occupied by the nursery and the kindergarten.

Encouraging development necessitated the construction of a large two-storey concrete building in its place in 1990. Another concrete building in the adjoining property was completed for the 1994-1995 school year. Other structures in the compound already in existence are being utilized for various school activities such as library, clinic, speech laboratory, audio-visual room, etc.

It was in the school year 1993-1994 when High School started, in consonance with the official change of name to Pasig Christian Academy signifying both its status and goals. The name Sunbeam Playschool is retained in its category and is classified as a subsidiary of PCA.

Today, PCA is a full-fledged institution that offers Preschool, Elementary and High School (all departments are recognized by the Department of Education). The founder of the school is Dr. Isagani C. Masanga, who wants to keep alive the ideas that they inherited from their late father and dedicated church leader, Santiago Teofilo Masanga.
