Pella Christian was established in 1939 as a private, Christian high school located in South Central Iowa. PCHS is accredited by the State of Iowa Department of Education and is governed by a board of elected constituents. The board, faculty, and staff adhere to the reformed world and life view that our world belongs to God and our lives are a testimony of thanksgiving and service to Him. Therefore we are partners with parents and local churches in educating the young people in our communities.

Curriculum: Pella Christian provides a liberal arts education including rigorous college prep courses as well as courses in industrial arts, fine arts, and family and consumer sciences. Students have the opportunity to receive college credit for various courses through agreements with DMACC. Online college courses are available through DMACC, as well. Limited AP courses are available.

We were recently named one of the top 50 Christian Schools in America. Read more about that here.

2019/20 enrollment for grades 9 - 12 is 272 students
*PCHS utilizes a traditional 8-period per day schedule with chapel and intramural times scheduled in each week.
*Each faculty member holds current Iowa teaching certificates. *66% of the teaching staff hold master’s degrees.
