Admissions Opportunities at a Glance
The Mission of Desert Christian Schools is to pursue excellence in Christian education, foster Christ-centered relationships, and endeavor to meet the unique learning needs of every student.
Desert Christian Schools is an independent, inter-denominational Christian covenant school partnering with parents who desire to see their children raised "…in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians 6:4).
Desert Christian was founded in 1986 on Tucson's eastside as a high school and has since grown to include a second campus for Preschool to 8th grade. Today, DCS represents more than sixty area churches as Tucson's only independent, comprehensive Preschool - 12th-grade Christian school. DCS is governed by a parent-elected Board of Trustees, staffed by licensed, qualified faculty and is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
Teacher Blessing Donation
If you would like to help make the holidays extra special for our Faculty and Staff you can click the link below to donate to our Teacher Blessing Fund! The funds raised will be divided amongst all Faculty and Staff and they will get to pick giftcards out from our Scrip program. Each year this is just a small token of appreciation but one we know our employees are so grateful for. Thank you for helping make this possible!
The students of Desert Christian Schools are why our foundation and mission are so important. At the end of the day, at the end of their school years, it is our greatest desire that our students are not only lifelong learners ready to make a difference in their world but that they understand how uniquely created and how unconditionally loved they are.
For 35 years, Desert Christian Schools has been provided for by God's grace and those who have come before us. As long as we continue to answer His call and always keep Him at the center of all we do, we know His provision and grace will be there. The steps we are taking as a school, the next phases, the building projects are no small feat, but already God has opened doors and is allowing us to move forward.
This current community of givers, though, are the ones who, in the next 35 years, people will refer to as "the ones who came before us." We have the opportunity to keep the foundation strong and to keep paving the way.
We are asking you now to be the ones who will come before the next generation of Desert Christian Schools. Our only desire for you to contribute financially is if you feel that call truly placed on your heart, and our only wish for the amount in which you give is the amount that makes you joyful to provide. And if the greatest way you can contribute to our school is by keeping us in your prayers and supporting our mission, please know you have richly blessed us just the same!
