Poetry Community Christian School is entering its 24th year and continues to offer AFFORDABLE, ACCREDITED, and CHRIST-CENTERED education for more than 200 students K-4 through 12th grade.  

 

Founded in 2002, accreditors recognize PCCS as offering an Education of Excellence for students with varying interests and abilities. Students explore STEM and liberal arts course options from physics and vet science to A&P/exercise science and graphic design, those with a learning difference such as dyslexia find new ways to succeed academically, and high schoolers can gain a year's worth of dual college credits taught by our graduate degreed embedded faculty. 

 

Learn more about this innovative approach to the education experience, characterized by affordable tuition, parent involvement, college-prep programming, exemplary curricula, a learning differences program, competitive sports, and more than 50 enrichment electives offerings each semester.

PCCS

PCCS serves middle class family budgets with AFFORDABLE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION. How do we compare? According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 22,400 U.S. private schools offer an average tuition of $12,594 (elementary $11,660, secondary $16,144). PCCS tuition does not increase every year and when that does occur, increases were modest and justified by actual expenses such as employee medical and vision coverage or the increased cost of curriculum and supplies. PCCS tuition is lower than local and DFW area fully accredited private schools. We seek to keep tuition rates within the middle-class family budget. Excellence and value at affordable rates!
