Thank you for supporting DCS

Desert Christian Schools would not exist without the generous support of those who give of their time, talent, and treasure. The economic challenges of being an independent, non-denominational school require additional resources to operate and grow. Desert Christian Schools' Board of Trustees, faculty, administration, and staff recognize and deeply appreciate the many ways in which our donors contribute to the life of the school - and to a bright and promising future for every DCS student.

No matter which area of giving you choose, gifts of any size significantly impact the school community and the educational experience of every Desert Christian student.

Capital Campaign Update

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make our capital campaign a success!

We’re excited to share that the new high school buildings were ready just in time for the first day of school, and the junior high has smoothly transitioned into the former high school space. The school year is off to a great start!

Your generous support made this all possible. Because of you, we now have vibrant, purpose-built spaces where our students and community can learn, grow, compete, and celebrate—together.

Building Fund

Building Fund

Since 1986, Desert Christian Schools has lovingly served families with children in Preschool to 12th grade. We partner with families to raise Godly young adults who serve their world with Christ-like values. For many, it is a financial sacrifice to afford private, Christian education, so we rely on gifts from our community to keep our tuition rates as low as possible.

Your donation to our school will support our Building Fund which bridges the gap to afford necessities that tuition doesn’t cover such as teacher needs, security, campus enhancements, technology, fine arts, skills center, athletics, and more. With so many ministries to choose from, we are grateful for your gift to our school. Thank you for helping us in our mission to disciple children to make a difference in their world!

Arizona Tax Credit Donation

Most families send their children to Desert Christian Schools at significant financial sacrifice. The lack of resources often discourages a good number of spiritually committed, academically prepared students from attending DCS. Sometimes, unexpected or temporary financial hardship forces families to consider withdrawing from DCS.

To address these circumstances, Desert Christian Schools has two ways in which families can make tuition affordable, Tax Credit Scholarships and Empowerment Scholarships.

Tax Credit Scholarships are made possible by our partnership with School Tuition Organizations and by designating your Arizona tax dollars to these organizations. Institute for Better Education (IBE) is one of several organizations you can designate your dollars to. To learn more about claiming your tax credit through IBE, click the button below.

Faculty & Staff Blessing Fund

Dear Desert Christian Families,

During this season of giving, the Parent Service Organization (PSO) leadership invites you to share in the opportunity to bless and honor all our faculty and staff at Desert Christian Schools. Once a year, during Christmas, we as parents have the privilege to bless our staff with an extra special gift. There is no expectation to give should you not feel led. We ask that you prayerfully consider donating funds that will be given according to the level of employment. This does include all ancillary staff as well as the teachers.

We are suggesting a donation of $20 per student for this Christmas Blessing, but feel free to give according to your means and desires. Each staff member will receive a Gift Certificate for a Scrip card or cards of his or her choice. Please send your donation in by Saturday, December 14th. If you wish to donate by check, please make it payable to Desert Christian Schools. Please be sure the memo line states “Christmas Blessing.” Checks may be mailed to Desert Christian Schools at 7525 E. Speedway Blvd. or dropped off at either campus in the front offices. Your gift donation is tax-deductible. This special blessing is in lieu of classroom gifts. You may also, however, individually bless your child’s teacher with a homemade gift or card if you wish.

Thank you for your generosity and for collaborating with us to provide this Christmas Blessing to the dedicated faculty and staff of Desert Christian Schools.

In His Service,

Parent Service Organization (PSO) Leadership
