The teachers and staff at Des Moines Christian School genuinely care about each and every one of their students. They go above and beyond to make sure every student suceeds, and feels known and loved. I know if I asked any teacher or staff member for help, they would drop everything to help me. They show the love of Christ every day.

I've be going to Des Moines Christian since i was in kindergarten and have had no problems. The teachers are really kind and supportive, they are always there for you if you need to talk. I love the guidance counselors because they are so down to earth and are never strict. You can go hang out in their office for ilt or just to talk with your friends. Overall the environment is really good and the teachers connect tremendously with the students and will go out of there way to ask you how you've been doing.

Des Moines Christian School is very much concerned with their student's well-being. The school makes sure the academics are manageable but also challenging to help the students learn. There are many high-level classes you can take in order to further your learning. The way the classes are set up is in a college-level setting where the students are to take responsibility for doing work outside of class. The teachers are amazing and supportive of all the students. The atmosphere of the school is light and fun to learn in. It is super easy to get any help you need and the teachers will give you as much help as they are able. Des Moines Christian School is a great school to get a head start in college with the many dual-credit courses they offer as well. The worst part of the school is the sports as they are very club-oriented. If you don't play club sports you will have a very hard time getting on the team. I would like to see this change as not every student has the money to play club.

This is a great school, everyone is great including the teachers, the teachers really try to get to know you and help you. The teachers make learning fun for the most part and don’t teach you lies or stuff that kids should not know.

Don't go to this school unless you actually know what you're getting into. EVERYONE will seem nice the first time you make a visit, but during the school year everyone gets put in their own places. If you have money and are outspoken you have friends no matter what. If you don't have either and are...

Athletics, academics and faith infused throughout the school makes this an outstanding school. Test scores are impressive. My kids have gone on to excel in their collegiate studies and we are grateful to Des Moines Christian for equipping them well.

I attended DMCS from Pre-K through graduation. I'm so thankful for the wonderful education I received, and the amazing teachers who taught me. I can't emphasize enough how great the teaching staff is at DMCS. My math teacher stayed after school with me 3 days a week without extra pay, just because I...
