Prairie Christian Academy Society is a charitable organization based in Three Hills, Alberta, classified by the CRA under teaching institutions.

In its fiscal year ending July 31, 2024, it reported $1M in revenue and $940K in expenditures.
Its funding that year was roughly 14% from donations. In 2024, 7 other registered charities reported granting it a combined $10K.
Compared with 1,247 education institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 5% of peers.
