Thank You For Considering PCS Upper School

Greetings Parents!

Welcome to the Portland Christian Upper School family. Thank you for trusting us with your child’s educational development. We see this as a privilege and a great responsibility, one we feel God has called us to do. We look forward to developing a partnership with you throughout the year to help point your child to a Christ-centered life.

We are committed to loving, discipling, and praying for your children. We will strive to educate them with excellence and lead them into developing a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We will teach them to serve and be responsible citizens for our school, community, and world. We will strive to model and train effective communicators that are committed to following God’s call for their lives.

Above all, our goal is to teach children to pursue our Lord and Savior and to glorify Him in all we do. We firmly believe in Proverbs 22:6, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” We strive not only to instill Christ-like character in our students, but also to train them how to apply God’s Living Word to their daily lives.

Portland Christian is a huge blessing to my entire family. It feels like home and we are thankful for such a wonderful school community! My kids are thriving at school and being well nurtured in every way. We are grateful for the humility and dignity found at PCS, careful attention to each child, excellence in scholastics, solid Bible teaching, and loving environment. I have 3 kids here and thank God for PCS daily. It's a blessing to have the biblical foundation for everything taught here.

Brittany Y., Parent

Portland Christian School is just a special place and our family has been abundantly blessed to be able to call PCS our school. They know and love our kids. We have had the privilege of getting to know other families, teachers and administrators over the years we've been at PCS. Our kids have been able to think through and learn about the world we live in from a Biblical perspective. They've grown in knowledge of not only the subjects being taught, but also in how we as Christians are called to live diﬀerently.

PCS Parent

Best decision we made was to send our 3 girls to PCS. Our oldest will be graduating this Friday. Values begin at home and we are blessed that The staff at PCS promote the same values and help influence the spiritual and educational growth

Kristin H., Grandparent

We made the move from public school to PCS when our kiddo was going into 5th grade and quite honestly can state it was the best decision we have ever made as parents. Our daughter was really struggling to learn, hated going to school, and was learning about things on the playground we weren't ready for her to learn. After much prayer, we visited PCS and never looked back! Our daughter is now in 7th grade and has just exploded in her growth as a person and truly enjoys school. PCS not only cares about students from an academic standpoint, they pour into each student from a holistic perspective.

Tiffany P., Parent

Our family has been at PCS for 6 years now and we have always loved that it is a partnership with the teachers and administrators. While the changes and growth are exciting, we are also grateful that the things that brought us to Portland and that we love about Portland have stayed the same - the family feel, being able to be involved and present at school, the love the teachers/administration has for the kids and their heart for pointing them back to Christ.
