The Foundation Matters

A message from the Superintendent

Choosing the right school for your child is a significant decision, one that profoundly impacts their academic, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. At Portland Christian Schools, our mission is clear: to educate students in the truth of God’s word in every area of instruction and activity, so that their lives may be transformed by the renewing of their minds. In a world bombarded with anti-Christian messages, we understand the importance of creating a solid foundation, where our children are grounded in the Word of God.

Our long tradition of excellence began over 77 years ago, and today Portland Christian provides a world-class, holistic education to over 750 students from 550 families representing over 165 churches in the Portland metro area.

At Portland Christian, our goal has always been to guide young people to lead lives of influence and service in God’s kingdom. Our whole-student focus is drawn from Mark 12:30, encompassing every student’s heart, soul, mind, and strength. 

At PCS, we cultivate a school climate and culture that nurtures and supports students as they gain the knowledge and wisdom needed to be successful spiritually, academically, and relationally. Students begin their journey here through their parents’ faith commitment, and our teachers walk alongside them as they grow to embrace their own faith (SOUL). Worship, faith, and community activities create a spiritual rhythm that shapes campus life.

Academic excellence is one way we honor God (MIND). Our dedicated faculty helps students succeed at their level and challenges them to reach higher. We also offer plenty of opportunities outside the classroom, such as music, theater, a variety of clubs, mission trips, service opportunities, athletics, and more. These extra-curricular opportunities allow students to explore their interests and talents and refine the social skills necessary to relate to others.

We encourage our students to explore their academic strengths, spiritual gifts, and talents as they continue developing into well-rounded individuals, equipped to take on life’s challenges (STRENGTH). Our goal is for each student to maximize their strengths and talents for God’s glory and for the benefit of His creation.

Service is the practical expression of our Christian beliefs. Our students develop a community mindset (HEART) as they respond to God’s love by reaching out to serve others — at school, at home, and in the community. Even after graduation, Portland Christian alumni continue to live out their faith by making a difference locally and globally.

I invite you to come and experience the Portland Christian difference. I trust you will be inspired by the breadth and depth of our educational and co-curricular opportunities, and that you will feel the joy and warmth of this community, bound together by our common faith in Jesus Christ. We are excited about what God is doing here and welcome you to discover your place at Portland Christian Schools!
