DCCS is open to all...
Desert Chapel Christian School is open to anyone interested in securing a Christian education, but reserves the right to select students on the basis of academic performance, religious commitment, lifestyle choices and personal qualifications including a willingness to cooperate with Desert Chapel Christian School administration and to abide by its policies.
Since attendance at Desert Chapel Christian School is a privilege not a right, all students must be convinced they want to attend Desert Chapel Christian School and agree to honestly and wholeheartedly apply themselves to our academically challenging curriculum. They also agree to display actions and attitudes that are in keeping with the Christian values adhered to by our school and our faith. We do not demand perfection but we do encourage our students to behave in such a way as to be exemplary of what our school stands for.
If you are looking to secure a Christ-centered and Biblically-directed education, then take the next step and fill out an application. We are teaching and training the Christian leaders of tomorrow and you just might be one of them!
Student registration will be determined after a complete evaluation of the recommendations, assessment and interview. Incoming Transitional Kindergarteners must be 4 years of age on or before June 1, 2024; Kindergartners must be 5 years of age on or before September 1, 2024.
