Admissions at Portland Christian Schools

Looking for the best private school for your family?

Something is drawing you to consider a Christian school. You’re wondering if this environment might be better for your child — if maybe small class sizes and a college-prep curriculum taught from a biblical worldview could better prepare them for the future.

Should you take this path? With the right school, yes.

At Portland Christian Schools, your child will get much more than a typical education.

  • In the early years, they’ll be taught social-emotional skills every day as part of our thorough curriculum. They’ll learn to lead and serve, and get to try sports, all before they leave elementary school.
  • In middle school, they’ll meet in small groups to discuss the Bible and work on character development. In class, they’ll participate in seminars where teachers ask open-ended questions and foster critical thinking.
  • By the time they’re in high school, they will be on their path to finding their God-given purpose. They’ll be taking confident steps toward college, career, and beyond, and those steps include AP and college concurrent credit classes, service projects, and volunteer and internship opportunities.

So, no matter what age or grade level, now is a good time to apply to Portland Christian Schools.

NAME: Nicole Curtis

Experience: employed with PCS since 2010

“At PCS, we value personal relationships and close community. We believe that education is a partnership between the school and home, and I understand that you need your questions answered on both a “head-level” and a “heart-level” before entrusting your child to a school. Having been part of the Portland Christian community for over 15 years—as a parent, teacher, and now Admissions Director—I offer a unique perspective on our school. I’m here to answer your questions and help you in your search for the right school for your child.”

“PCS was very thoughtful around wanting to know our questions –

What are your concerns? What are your worries? What are your wants for your child’s education? I appreciated being able to have that conversation. It felt authentic. It was like, this is it. This is the right place. And that’s been our experience ever since.”
