School Reviews
| 5 5/17/2016 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 - kimmc |
