Enrollment and Academic Growth

We are encouraged by continued growth in student enrollment and by strong academic achievement across grade levels.Thank you for the partnership you provide at home and for the dedication of our faculty and staff, who work daily to help students thrive—mind, heart, and spirit.

Athletics on the Rise

Our athletic program continues to grow in participation, competitiveness, and community support. We’re also excited to be exploring pickleball and girls’ flag football as potential new sports—additional opportunities for students to develop character, teamwork,and leadership.

‍

Strategic Planning is Underway

We have officially launched our strategic planning process, and we want to hear from you. This is an important season to reflect, listen, and align around God’s calling for PCS. Please participate when you see surveys, invitations to forums, and opportunities to share feedback. Your voice matters, and your insight will help shape our future.

‍

Alumni Connection

On February 28, we will launch our new PCSAlumni Landing Page, making it easier than ever for graduates and friends to reconnect, share updates, and stay engaged with the life of the school. Please help us spread the word to alumni you know.

‍

Gratitude for Your Generosity

Thank you, donors. I’m deeply thankful to all who supported our year-end campaign. Your generosity is a tangible investment in students and in the mission of Portland Christian School. As we look ahead, we invite continued philanthropy because together, with your generous support, we build the Kingdom of God one child at a time.

‍

Please Pray for PCS

Finally, please continue to pray—daily—for God’s protection over our students, families, and staff, and for His wisdom and advancement of Portland Christian School as we serve Him in this city.

Prosepctive Families

Dear Prospective Portland Christian School Families,

‍

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about Portland Christian School. Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes, and I’m grateful you are considering PCS as a partner in your child’s education and spiritual formation.

‍

Portland Christian School is a welcoming PK–12 community serving students on two campuses. Our families come from a wide range of backgrounds, and we value the richness that brings to our classrooms and community life. We are also grateful for our growing ethnic diversity—19% of our student body—and we are committed to cultivating a school culture where every student is known, valued, and challenged to grow.

‍

At PCS, four pillars shape our daily work and long-term vision:

‍

Spiritual Development – We believe education is ultimately about discipleship. Our desire is for students to develop a thoughtful, resilient faith—learning to love God, understand His Word, and follow Jesus with conviction in every area of life. Our chief mantra is Love God, Love People, Live Differently.

‍

Academic Integrity – We teach students to pursue truth with humility, think critically, communicate clearly, and do their work honestly and responsibly. Integrity matters—especially when no one is watching.

‍

Excellence in Athletic Competition – Athletics at PCS are an extension of our mission. We train students to compete with discipline, courage, teamwork, and sportsmanship—learning to lead and serve while striving for excellence.

‍

Service to the Community – We want students to look outward. Through service opportunities and community engagement, PCS students learn to love people in practical ways and to be faithful contributors to their neighborhoods, churches, and city.

‍

PCS is committed to meeting the academic needs of all students:

‍

Rigorous Academics – Across all of these areas, our goal is not simply to prepare students to succeed, but to prepare them to stand firm. In a rigorous and academically challenging environment, PCS graduates learn to love God, love people, and live differently—with wisdom, compassion, and confidence rooted in Christ.

‍

Academic Interventions & Supports – We also recognize that students learn in different ways and sometimes need targeted support. Portland Christian School provides a robust intervention program for students who are struggling academically, ensuring they receive timely, focused help. In addition, we are excited to announce that we will launch a pilot special education program in the fall of 2026, expanding our ability to serve students with identified learning needs in a thoughtful, mission-aligned way.

‍

If you are looking for a school that combines Christ-centered formation, strong academics, purposeful community, and opportunities to grow through athletics and service, I encourage you to take the next step—schedule a visit, attend an open house, and meet the people who make PCS what it is.

‍

Love God.

Love People.

Live Differently.
