About the Provider

Description:

Payson Christian School was founded on the campus of the Mount Cross Lutheran Church in 1986 by several churches in the area. Since that time the school has moved several times and grown in students. PCS is comprised of teachers and students from various area churches. We enjoy supporting churches in the area.



Payson Christian School is mission-based and teaches a Biblical World-view. There are no requirements for students to attend church or for families to make a statement of faith. Since we are a Christian school we do require daily Bible study and all of our classes incorporate Biblical curriculum. The school encourages students to attend a Bible believing church of their choice. Special attention is made and teachers agree to teach the Bible rather than specific denominational beliefs that may or may not be controversial.
