Admissions

We serve students from various diverse backgrounds.

Portland Christian School has chosen to serve every student, with few exceptions, who applies for admittance whether in the inner city or the outskirts of Louisville. This is the choice PCS has made in determining the best way to serve  those God sends to PCS.  By reason of location, PCS is one of the few Christian schools that continues to serve the inner city while also expanding to serve the eastern Jefferson County community as well. 

We have a mission. We have a vision. We have core values.

The families whose children are admitted to the school must agree with the school’s mission, vision, and core values.  The education offered in a Christian school must be Christ-centered.  Understanding the mission, vision, and the core values are important in keeping a Christ-centered environment.  The nature and quality of its relationships with the families and the like-minded churches is evaluated, and information about its students, families, churches, and community is analyzed so as to better understand and serve its constituents more effectively. 

A diverse student body allows for a great experience.

Portland Christian’s student body is made up of students from all geographic areas and various Christian denominations.  PCS does require faithful service and attendance in the family’s home church.  Portland’s curriculum includes a Bible class or chapel service each day we are in session.
