I think Des Moines Christian is a great faith-based school that I would no doubt send my kids to as well, however, I believe they are way more interested in appearances than just being a school for God. A lot of it goes into pleasing the donors which makes sense because they have built a lot of our school for us.

I moved to Des Moines Christian school halfway through my sophomore year. When I got there everyone accepted me and I felt like I had a personal connection with my teacher and classmates right away. My grades overall became way better because I was able to learn more from these teachers and if I struggled they were patient with me. One thing I'd say that could change is some of the higher up staff members wanting to become a lot bigger. Once you become such a big school you lose the personal connections with everyone.

Des Moines Christian School is a great place. Some of the teachers are not that great but at least they try. The administration is not very good but i make it through the day.

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...
