The school has been a great experience to get me ready for college in a Christian environment. I appreciate learning from a biblical world view and that I can take dual credit classes to get ahead in college.

Overall, I had a great experience there and was able to do a lot of activities that I had on the agenda. The teachers there are amazing, they care about you, actively try to help you do the best you can, and represent Christ in every class. The Bible classes are great and really helped me grow in my walk with Christ and I loved the student body and being a part of that. I had the opportunity to be a leader to many of them in multiple ways and it was a great experience in all I did.

I love my time here at Desert Christian and I am sad to go in a couple of months. I love how the staff is very friendly and that they are willing to help you when you have a problem. Since it is a Christian school I love that we are able to talk about the Bible and even have Bible class. The teachers are great here and very knowledgeable. If you live around the AV I would suggest going to this school because it is the best high school I've been too.

The elementary principal is pretty and stuck...

Putting my son into this school after a few years of the negative environment of the public schools in the A.V. was the best thing that has ever happened to him. I wish we would have put him in DCS sooner.

Our children have been involved with this school for over 10 years and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, loving and Bible-based school for any child - pre-school through high school.

All three of my children attended DCS and graduated from DCHS, I highly recommend this school! They prepared my children for college and beyond. The staff is loving and there is a family atmosphere on campus as well as rigorous courses to prepare students for higher education.
