Thank you for attending our
Annual Fall Fundraiser
Last Monday night, we had over 450 guests attend our Annual Fall Fundraiser chaired by Katie Hughes (K8 mom of 2) and her awesome committee. They did a beautiful job of transforming our completely nice but ordinary high school gymnasium into a Winter Wonderland with twinkling lights, Christmas trees, and yes, snow!
Thank you to All who attended and made a donation to our Annual Fund on Monday. We are so grateful! The DCS Annual Fund assists our school with much-needed resources for academics, athletics, fine arts, security, facility improvements, technology, and items that go beyond the means of tuition income. Each donation is 100% tax-deductible and makes a direct impact on the educational experience of our students at our school.
If you were not able to attend and would like to support our school with a donation, we would be tremendously grateful. To make a donation, please click here, or you may drop off a check at one of our school offices, or call our bookkeeper, Leslie Hatch, at 901-5499, Ext. 7015, and she will process your credit card over the phone.
We have several videos that were developed for our fundraiser this year, and we invite you to enjoy this one called “It’s All About the Kids,” which is true, right?
Please contact me, Cherie Murphy, DCS Development Director, at cmurphy@desertchristian.org if you have any questions!

Tuition Tax Credits
Learn how you can make Life as an Eagle affordable with Tax Credit Scholarships.
At Desert Christian Schools (DCS), we know for a fact that School Choice would be practically impossible without the help of the Arizona Tax Credit Program. Historically 75% of our students received some form of tax credit scholarship funding. Tax credit scholarships fully funded 30% of those students! Plain and simple, the Arizona Tax Credit Program makes private, Christian education more affordable. DCS is truly blessed to have such a wonderful partnership with the many different School Tuition Organizations in our state, and we are thankful for their incredible work in promoting School Choice.
Here are a few links to our two most used School Tuition Organizations, to the Department of Revenue's entire list of STO's, and to information about the Empowerment Scholarship Account Program.

RSVP for a Workshop Today!
We provide a play-based, child-focused, Christ-centered preschool program. The primary focus of Desert Christian’s preschool program is for your child to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ while developing an academic foundation for the elementary years ahead. We provide an exploratory, investigative, sensory-rich learning environment that is essential in fostering your child’s desire to learn. Developing a close teacher-student relationship within a joyful Christian setting is extremely important to us.
Desert Christian Preschool welcomes children ages three to five years. We offer a traditional morning program as well as a bilingual full day program. Our biblically integrated curriculum includes alphabet recognition, phonics, pre-reading, numbers, music, story time, scripture memorization, science, art exploration, and many hands-on activities both indoors and outdoors. Desert Christian Preschool is licensed by the State of Arizona.
