PORTLAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL…begins a new chapter with the opening of this school year!   This week we were blessed as we opened the  new school year with 478 students.  The Little School with 68 children, plus 410 in grades K-12.  Education is a high calling; the Lord Jesus directly speaks to teachers with a serious reminder of the impact of their words and actions.  Luke 6:40 tells us “everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.”  PCS has a faculty whose goal is to reflect the standards set and modeled by the master teacher, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  It is our goal to nurture the potential with each child so they can discover the hope and future the Lord has planned for them.  (Jodell Seay, Executive Director)
