Parent Testimonials
"I wish we had moved here sooner! We had been living in Atlanta, Ga. and had discussed moving for a number of years. We wanted to raise our children in a safe environment and have them attend a good Christian school. We had the opportunity to move anywhere in the world and after much thought and research, we chose Pella, Iowa. We moved here last summer without even a job because we felt so strongly about this area and this school. It was really a leap of faith and it's proved to be the best move of our life. Our children love school so much that they look forward to going every day. This school embraced my children with open arms and welcoming voices. At previous schools, we were discontented with a number of things, but at PCGS, it has surpassed all my expectations. I've never seen before such an earnest, caring, and concentrated effort to focus on the children. The administration, teachers and staff at PCGS are there because they want the very best for our children and they strive to give it with all their hearts, souls, and minds. No child is left behind and every child is important in everyone's eyes. Not only is the academic program one of the best in the nation, but the children are showered with love and kindness by everyone at PCGS. Plan a trip to Iowa, visit Pella, and come see our school. Not only are the schools superior but this community is a wonderful place to raise a family. Pella is very family oriented. The people here are very involved in providing and participating in activities for the children and family year around. It's unlike any place we've ever lived before and we've moved around many times. I wasn't sure when we moved here if I'd like it or if we'd even stay. However, in a short period of time, I've grown to love it here and I think we'll stay..................forever!"

"We chose Pella Christian Grade School for our children's education because of the school's high academic rating, biblical foundation, and the love shown and given to the children by the teachers and staff. Our children have been taught that God loves them and that God has a special plan for their life. When you combine a sense of personal destiny with academic excellence, you have provided an atmosphere for our child to flourish spiritually, intellectually and physically."
-Lloyd and Lisa Berntsen, Monroe, Iowa
"The reasons we send our son to Pella Christian Grade School instead of the public school system are really quite simple. First, we believe that God is the central component of our lives and that God should be central in the school system as well. This allows for the creation of a truly caring and nurturing environment that we believe makes the learning process more natural. Additionally, by allowing prayer in the classroom and demonstrating how God is a part of everything we do or know, the children learn Godly discipline and to respect each other and their teachers, which is something that appears to be sorely lacking in the public sphere. Secondly, the academic quality of Pella Christian Grade School is demonstrated by the awards the school has received; so who wouldn't want their child to attend a program that has such a fine reputation? And lastly, but by no means the least, is the quality of character that is possessed by the teachers and staff. Every teacher we have had experience with has shown such a genuine interest in caring for our son's well being and educational achievement that we feel we are truly blessed to have the opportunity to enroll our son in Pella Christian Grade School."
-Scott and Amy Meyer, Otley, Iowa
