A Heart for Jesus
Bible study, chapel, and teachers who model Christlike values weave a biblical worldview into every learning experience.
A Christ-centered, college-preparatory education — equipping students to think biblically, serve effectively, and lead with purpose.
Since 1948, Plumstead Christian School has partnered with parents to equip students with faith, virtue, and knowledge — nurturing hearts and minds for a lifetime.
Every classroom, chapel, rehearsal, and game is shaped by a biblical worldview and led by faculty who know each student by name. Our graduates leave prepared for the rigors of college and called to lives of service, leadership, and Christ-centered purpose.

Just as Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52), PCS strives to be a place where students grow. We celebrate each student's uniqueness and provide opportunities to develop God-given gifts, talents, and personality — equipped for kingdom service (Proverbs 2:1–5).
Our faculty and administration love the PCS community and love to teach and serve within a Christ-centered learning community — modeling faith for students every day.
PCS students consistently score well above state and national averages on standardized tests, Advanced Placement examinations, and the SAT.
Our accreditation through the Association of Christian Schools International is an important endorsement of that proven excellence.
