Prentiss Christian School continues to be governed by a Board of Trustees elected by the membership of the corporation.

Lower elementary grades are self-contained, and the school utilizes the Abeka curriculum predominantly in grades Pre-K-6. The curriculum for grades 7-12 is broad and meets all standards established by the Institutions of Higher Learning for students who intend to enter Mississippi public or private college upon graduation from high school.
