I have four children at Pikes Peak Christian School. All four children love learning, have small class sizes, have good role models, and are growing spiritually. Three of my children play sports -- good conduct, Christian values, and basic sports skills are emphasized. The school doesn't have any
... Read more frills-- there isn't enough money for a federally subsidized school lunch program (the start up expense of meeting the FDA requirements is prohibitive), the high school doesn't have a band, and parents are encouraged to volunteer. The students are grateful that their parents are willing to pay tuition, and understand the financial sacrifice. The teachers earn about half the salary of public school teachers-- the teachers are motivated to serve the student's individual needs, and the teachers feel led to teach in a private, Christian school. Pikes Peak Christian is an affordable, high quality school. We plan to never switch schools again. Read less

PPCS is a wonderful Christian school. My children have attended PPCS since preschool and are now all in high school or college. They have transitioned well into the college environment and were well prepared academically, emotionally and spiritually. While everything has not been sunshine and roses,
... Read more the few conflicts we have had were resolved in a Christian atmosphere with my child's best interests in mind balanced with the school's mission. It is my understanding that PPCS has graduated students who now attend a number of colleges and universities, attend service academies, have joined the armed forces and enter the working world ready to lead. This year we have a graduate who is a National Merit Scholar Finalist. Long after my children all graduate from PPCS, this school will be dear to our family. Read less

This has been our daughter's first year at PPSC; I've been pleasantly surprised. She's in one of the Pre-K programs and is already reading. The staff is always respectful and nice. Considering this is one of the least expensive Christian schools in the area I'm very happy. The lunch program is not

I love that it is truly Christ centered, as does my daughter. In my opinion, what counts is academics and Christian base curriculum. Keep it up PPSC! Read less
