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!
