YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE

Welcome! We’re glad you’re here.

We want to help your student grow—academically, socially and emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually. In working with you as parents as well as your church, we can help create a solid academic and spiritual foundation for your student. At PCHS, our mission is to educate and nurture each student to serve in God's world.

For over 80 years, our experienced staff and caring faculty have been committed to that mission, nurturing and challenging students from over 50 area churches. There are many reasons more than 240 students attend PCHS. Effective curriculum. Excellent teachers. Variety of programs. But the most important reason? Jesus Christ. He is central to all we do at PCHS!

Spiritual Commitment

The basis of the Pella Christian High School Society is the infallible Word of God interpreted in accordance with the Forms of Unity of the Reformed Churches: the Heidelberg Catechism, the Belgic Confession and the Canons of Dort.

The Society is committed to the following fundamental principles:

That the instruction and education of children in the school as well as in the home must be in accordance with the Word of God:
That a school is not an institution dependent on or belong to the Church or the state, but that it depends on a community of parents and others who support Christian education as a covenantal responsibility.
That throughout the course of the child's education the fundamental unity of the school, the home and the church must be maintained.

Christian Education Commitment

Parents/guardians who enroll their children agree with the following articles of commitment to Christian education and:

Actively support Pella Christian High School, the Board of Trustees, Administration, and staff through prayer and participation in school functions.
