Portland Christian Schools was launched in 1947 by a group of committed parents seeking to establish a Christian school presence in the Portland area. Driven by their vision of a school where tomorrow's leaders could receive an education firmly rooted in a Christian worldview, these parents laid the foundation for what would eventually become the “Christian School Society of Portland, Oregon.”

Portland Christian has grown and is now one of the largest Christian Schools in the Pacific Northwest. Today, Portland Christian Schools is a nondenominational, non-profit organization, with two campuses. Our student body is comprised of students in grade levels K- 12, as well as the pre-school children in our Early Childhood Education programs.

Portland Christian remains committed to providing an excellent education in a distinctively Christian environment, educating children not only in academics, but also in morality, character development, and leadership skills. Portland Christian has been the hallmark of excellence in education for over 60 years.
