Our Story

Welcome to Prairie Christian School

Prairie Christian School was established in 1991 to offer students a Christ-centered learning environment combined with high academic standards. Our first school year began with just 10 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, led by two teachers in the original brick school building.

With the support of our generous community, we expanded a few years later to add a large, all-purpose room, which was later converted into a gymnasium. As more families sought faith-based education, PCS continued to grow, adding more classroom and breakout spaces. Thanks to our committed donors, PCS has been able to build a facility that meets the needs of our expanding student body while staying true to our mission.
