The PCC education department trains students with a distinctive Christian philosophy of education to teach in Christian schools. Combining this with excellent hands-on training makes the PCC education graduate highly desired by Christian schools throughout the world. Many Christian schools who have witnessed the excellence in our graduates have sent teachers to PCC for short training sessions or for graduate study to help them gain the training our education students receive.
Our education program is not designed for public school teachers; however, in 2000 the Governor of Florida signed legislation that permits PCC graduates to apply for teacher certification in Florida. If a graduate teaches outside Florida, he may apply for a Certificate of Eligibility from the Florida Department of Education to submit to his state Department of Education, assuming his state has reciprocity with Florida.
