Message from the principal
Welcome! Des Moines
Christian School is a Christian school which is evident in the content
of classes, in the opportunities to grow spiritually, and in personal
relationships.
As a former teacher
and counselor, and now as a principal, I believe there are three crucial
factors to be considered in the selection of a school. Does the
institution offer a quality educational program? The curriculum at DMCS
offers over 60 years of excellence in education. Students have access
to a variety of learning experiences both on and off-campus.
Are there opportunities to grow spiritually? We are a discipling
school by definition. The 300 families in the secondary are all
families of faith seeking to bring their child's education in line with
the Godly principles you are teaching at home as well as your local
church body. Our goal on the academic side is for your child to learn a
great deal about God's world. On the spiritual side, our goal is for
them to be challenged in their faith as they come to an understanding of
who God is and what He offers them. Some students figure that out
while they are here and others need more time to figure it out. In
fact, some of our students don't know the Lord while they are here. Our
desire is to partner with parents in planting Godly seeds in their life
until the student is ready to surrender his/her life to Christ
As for
relationships, DMC's greatest resource is our people. We are grateful
for a competent and dedicated faculty committed to the expectation that
every student will be successful here. In addition, the influence of
quality classmates should never be underestimated in overall student
development.
Thanks for checking us out online!
