Welcome PCS Upper School Families
Welcome to the Upper School at Portland Christian School! We are honored to walk alongside your family as we partner with both the home and the church to "train up a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6).
Our dedicated upper school faculty and staff are committed to cultivating a safe, encouraging environment where students can thrive spiritually, academically, and socially. Every day, we strive to equip our students with the foundation they need to live out our core calling: Loving God, Loving People, and Living Differently.
Whether in the classroom, on the athletic field, or through service in our community, our goal is to help your student discover their God-given potential and develop a resilient, Christ-centered worldview.
Thank you for trusting us with your child's education and spiritual journey. It is a privilege to serve your family!
