  • Recommended October 06,2012 - Desert Christian is an exceptional school. I am thankful that my children have such caring teachers who are godly role models. My older children have all received academic scholarships and were well-prepared for college and life beyond. Can''t say enough about how great it is at DCS.*-Posted by Parent *
