DVSS Daily Dormitory Schedule
The PCA residence is on the picturesque campus that we share with Prairie Bible Institute, in Three Hills. It is adjacent to the dining hall where our students are served prepared and short order meals and it is just a couple of hundred feet from the PCA Secondary School building. The residence program operates under the supervision of a men’s and a women’s dean, who in conjunction with their residence assistants, look after the physical, emotional, social, academic and spiritual needs of our students.
Our residence rooms, lounges and washrooms underwent a $750,000 renovation in 2010 bringing our capacity to 80 students. See our Residence Handbook.
