Library
With two libraries available to students, PCA offers both Upper School and Lower School students the chance to support classroom learning, research assignments, develop a love for reading and gain the resources needed to succeed in the classroom.
Both libraries give students access to computers for completing assignments and conducting research. The school subscribes to a number of online databases to facilitate research with peer-reviewed literature. The libraries’ considerable holdings are built with the school’s curriculum in mind.

Suggestions for great curriculum-related summer reading
and fun family activities!
It is so important for students to continue to read over the summer, not only for pleasure, but also to preserve the reading skills they have worked so hard to build through the school year and to ensure their 'reading readiness' for the next grade.
The PCA library recommends the following books for students’ reading enjoyment, and to help them preserve their reading skills over the summer months. You'll find a wide varietyof reading material and reading levels. Feel free to consult other lists both above and below your child's grade level. Please note: this is recommended reading only.
Asterisked titles * indicate subject matter that connects to the curriculum the child will study in the grade indicated.
As well, you'll find a list of suggestions for fun family activities and destinations which also relate to curriculum. This list is by no means exhaustive, but we hope it offers some suggestions for fun and learning. Have a wonderful summer, and keep reading!
