Everyone at Desert Christian school district is welcoming and so wonderful to work with. I've known people who have gone to the school and have nothing but good things to say about it. My son is starting his first year here and it's the place I feel most comfortable trusting when it comes to my son's education.

The teachers and staff are very attentive to the needs of the students academically and socially. Our daughter was new last year and all the teachers made a real effort to introduce her to other students and helped her to get involved. The curriculum is challenging but fun with enthusiastic teachers. We have really enjoyed the staff and meeting other volunteers.

My child feels dumb and feels like no matter what will just be in trouble. Was bullied and nothing was done, not even looked int...

When I first discovered DCS, I heard that they had a great reputation in the community, and genuinely partnered with their families in providing a high-quality, Christ-centered, education for their students. Now, as part of the DCS community, I can attest to the high level of commitment and care to...
