Annual Fall Fundraiser Recap
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men"...INDEED! (Luke 2:14)
I am happy to share that we raised $160,000 for our Annual Fund at our Fall Fundraiser last month! Praise God!
Our Annual Fund is the fund that assists our school to afford things that tuition doesn't cover. Things like teacher needs, security, campus enhancements, technology, fine arts, athletics, and more! This fund helps bridge a gap and affords us to run our school with excellence.
Thank you to everyone who supported our Fall Fundraiser this year! From our Fall Fundraiser committee to the HS servers, parking lot attendants, child care workers, corporate supporters, dishwashers, table arrangers, musical performers, alumni presenters, attendees, and donors- we are grateful for everyone who helped support this event and assist with raising this money for this important fund. Fundraising is a necessary component of most schools and quite necessary at our school as well. At Desert Christian, we are so blessed to have the support of many to willingly and joyfully help in so many ways at our school! Thank you!
On behalf of Desert Christian, I pray you will have a safe holiday break, beautiful Christmas, and a blessed New Year!
With peace and joy,
Cherie Murphy, Development Director,

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.
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.
