Park Christian School makes room for more students to experience a christ centered education

1. Committed to your FAMILY’S FUTURE

As parents we know that finding a safe and excellent place for our children to grow and learn is everything. Park Christian School (PCS) is excited to announce its new expansion project to make room for more students and families. The 11 million dollar project is moving forward with phase one, constructing ten new classrooms, a new commons area, new elementary school rooms, and innovative classroom spaces designed by teachers for academic excellence. They expect to be completed with this first phase by August 19 for the start of the 2019–2020 school year. The project will allow an increase of enrollment from 400 students to 675 students. With all this growth, PCS is committed to having even more opportunities for after-school activity. Currently 97 percent of all students enrolled are apart of one or more extra curricular actives from sports to math, music and performance.

2. New, innovative, and SAFE LEARNING SPACES

When schools expand, many times they ignore the needs of the students and teachers who will be utilizing those new rooms. From the beginning of this project, the PCS executive team has been working with 14 teachers to ensure that the classroom design is innovative, unique and useful. These new spaces will allow students to work in small groups and collaborate with more project-based activities. “The staff and the teachers are what make this school special,” says Jason Loney, Scheels. “They have been a major part of this expansion project. Their dedication and love for our students have shined in this process.”

3. A desire to partner with the CHRISTIAN HOME and the LOCAL CHURCH

As a parent it can be frustrating when there is a disconnect between your children’s teachers’ values and your own. PCS’ desire is to partner with you and the local church in helping your child grow and develop spiritually. “Safety is one of our highest priorities at Park Christian School,” says Chris Nellermoe, president of PCS. “Not just caring for their physical safety but their emotional and spiritual safety. We want to create an environment where they can have spiritual conversations. We are able to stop and pray when there is conflict. PCS is a safe place for students to develop emotionally, pray and grow deep in God’s word.”

4. There are openings RIGHT NOW to APPLY for PARK CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Many local parents are wondering if there is room at PCS right now, and there is. The path to becoming a PCS parent is very simple. First you can experience their kindergarten roundup which will take place this spring on April 9 and May 7. This is a great time for you and your child to experience the PCS culture and excellence in person. Next submit an application and you will be interviewed as a family to better connect with the vision of the school. Finally, when accepted, there is a kindergarten assessment for your child and you are ready to go.

5. Opportunity to donate TO THE FUTURE of PARK CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Are you looking to make a donation to help make the dream a reality? PCS is looking for more financial sponsors to donate toward new classroom spaces. The vision is to ultimately accomplish phase two of construction with a new gym, locker-room, more classrooms and a chapel space. Are you a local contractor or building supplier? You can also donate labor or materials as well to this exciting project. PCS is proud to be building step-by-step for each phase and maximizing every generous gift given to them.
