As a parent, you recognize that weighing your options and finding the right school for your child isn’t an easy task. There are a lot of things to consider.
At Plumstead Christian School, that’s what we strive for! As a PK-12 private Christian school in Bucks County, PA, also serving families in Montgomery County, Hunterdon County in NJ, and other surrounding communities, our goal is to instill faith, virtue, and knowledge in our students, preparing them to live meaningful, Christ-centered lives. We invite you to learn more about the admissions process at PCS.
The value of a Christ-centered education
Your child will be nurtured and loved in an atmosphere rooted in biblical truth.
Your child will experience an education that cultivates his or her academic, physical, social, and spiritual development.
There are many opportunities to grow, including our excellent arts program, athletics, leadership, service, and ministry activities for students with diverse interests.
“Plumstead Christian School has been one of the biggest blessings to our son and family. From the teachers who cared, taught, and prayed for our son to the coaches who inspired our son to play for the right reason! The PCS Community has become part of a much bigger family to us, and we are forever grateful!”
Neil and Joyce Knudsen – PCS Parents
Hello, I’m Irene Mathew, Admissions Coordinator at Plumstead Christian School. Thank you for taking the time to get to know our school. We’re excited to meet you as you take the next step in the admissions process.
As you schedule a personal tour, complete the admissions applications, and enroll, you’ll also have the opportunity to meet student and parent ambassadors with whom I collaborate. They can answer some of your questions and speak about their experience at PCS.
Feel free to contact me at (215) 766-8073 or admissions@plumsteadchristian.org.
I look forward to meeting you soon!

Answers to your admissions inquiries
The Variable Tuition form is separate from the admissions application, but we encourage families to apply as early as possible. You may start applying for Variable Tuition once you’ve started the admissions application and have visited the school.
PCS is different in the sense that families who apply undergo the admissions process and receive an acceptance letter before taking the next step to enroll. The decision to apply is not the same as enrollment. Enrollment is the succeeding step once an acceptance letter is received.
There is admissions testing for incoming kindergarten and grade 1 students, and for other grade levels if necessary. All admissions testing requires a $60 fee.
We often ask parents for interviews if necessary to get to know their families better or obtain helpful information during the admissions process. Students may also be interviewed if needed, but this only applies to incoming middle or upper school levels.
You may start by learning about PCS’ academic offerings, mission and vision, as well as the fine arts and athletic opportunities available to your child. If you’re ready, you may start to schedule your personal tour by booking a tour directly or filling out a form for admissions.
Every family has its own reasons for exploring a new school. For many parents, this step begins with questions:
Will our child feel safe and encouraged here?
Are we sacrificing academic quality for spiritual values or vice versa?
Can we afford private Christian education?
These questions matter deeply to you, and at Plumstead Christian School, we welcome them because they point to the very things we are committed to providing.
When you visit our campus, you’ll see how we come alongside families with a nurturing Christian environment, qualified and caring teachers, strong academics, and an accessible tuition model. You’ll witness students who are thriving academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Most importantly, you’ll get a real sense of whether PCS is the right fit for your family.
We’d love to show you around! Families with children in preschool through grade 5 can tour our Chalfont Campus, and those exploring grades 6 through 12 will visit our Plumsteadville Campus.
Your personalized tour will be led by our Admissions Coordinator, Irene Mathew, and includes classroom visits, opportunities to see the campus facilities, meet faculty, and time to ask questions. Tours last about 45 minutes and are scheduled during the school day so you can experience PCS in action.
Our Open Houses offer a warm, welcoming way to explore PCS alongside other prospective families. These events include a short introduction, a guided tour through active campus spaces, and opportunities to connect with teachers and student ambassadors. Open Houses are held throughout the year for various age groups, including preschool and kindergarten, as well as our lower, middle, and upper school programs.
2026-27 Open House Dates:
Winter Open House
Preschool & Kindergarten: Friday, January 22nd – 12:30pm – 2:30pm
Lower School (Preschool-5): Thursday, February 4th – 9:30am – 11:00am
Middle & Upper School (6-12): Friday, February 5th – 12:30pm – 2:00pm
Spring Open House
Lower School (Preschool-5): Tuesday, April 6th – 9:30am – 11:00am
Middle & Upper School (6-12): Wednesday, April 7th – 12:30pm – 2:00pm
After your initial tour, students are invited to return for a personalized shadow visit. This gives your son or daughter a chance to meet classmates, experience the school day, and become part of the PCS community.
Here’s what to expect based on your child’s age:
Shadow visits are a meaningful way for students to connect and see what life at PCS is really like.
To learn more about how you can schedule a shadow experience for your child, please contact admissions@plumsteadchristian.org.
A campus visit to PCS is a chance to step into the kind of education that equips students to impact the world for Christ. Whether you’re chatting with teachers or watching classrooms in motion, you’ll begin to understand how faith, learning, and community come together here. Below, discover what you’ll see on each campus.

“From the moment we stepped on campus, the environment felt warm and welcoming. When we paused to pray together during the tour, it was a beautiful reminder that Christ is truly at the center of everything at PCS, confirming in our hearts that this was the right place for our children.”
– Anthony and Monique Benvenutti, PCS Parents
You’ll check in at the main office at either campus. Dedicated visitor parking is available, and signage will guide you to the front entrance. Once inside, our admissions team will greet you and walk you through what to expect.
There’s nothing special you need to bring; just come with your questions! Students visiting for a shadow day should dress comfortably and be ready to experience a typical school day.
Yes to both! Your child is welcome to join you during the initial tour so they can begin to get a feel for the school environment. Then, following your tour, we invite them back for a shadow day to dive deeper into the student experience. Preschool and kindergarten students enjoy a short classroom visit, elementary students stay for a half day, and middle and upper school students are paired with a student ambassador for a full-day experience.
Yes. PCS offers its own transportation services, which is a great benefit for many families. We’re happy to discuss options and routes during your visit.
You’re not alone! Many families wonder if private Christian education is within reach. PCS offers a Variable Tuition model to help make an excellent, Christ-centered education accessible to a wide range of families.
Our next Open Houses are in January and February (see the Winter Open House dates). To learn more and to register, contact our admissions office directly at admissions@plumsteadchristian.org.

Some decisions you’ll make as a parent will significantly impact your child’s life. Maybe it’s thinking about where to live, the belief systems you’ll teach, or the day-to-day choices you’ll make for their well-being. Along the same level of importance, of course, is where you’ll send your child to school, because it’s where…
Opinions and worldviews are beginning to influence.
Essential life lessons and skills are being learned.
Community and lifelong friends are starting to matter more.
And this is why it’s worth investing in a school that reinforces the biblical values you’re already teaching at home.
At Plumstead Christian School, this is our goal. As a private Christian school in Bucks County, PA, we strive to provide a caring environment where students are educated to think biblically, serve effectively, and lead Christ-centered lives. We invite you to partner with us as you discover the value of investing in your child’s education and life.
Explore how your child can thrive in our learning environment
Our school desires to work with parents to raise children living gospel-focused lives. As a covenant school, we require at least one parent to be a professing Christian, bringing us a deeper level of partnership with families. We want parents to know that we’re in this together.
Plumstead Christian School integrates biblical truth into every course and activity so that each student flourishes academically, socially, and spiritually. Beyond academic knowledge, there is an emphasis on teaching virtues and life skills to help each child thrive in the 21st century.
We believe that arts, athletics, leadership, and service opportunities are just as important as core subjects, and you’ll find that we’re deeply committed to all of these pursuits. You don’t have to worry that your child won’t have the chance to pursue their passions at PCS — whether it’s theater, arts, music, sports, ministry, or more. There is typically no limit to the number of students who can be involved in our school’s co-curricular activities or athletic teams, and we make sure that every student can shine in their God-given gifts.
At PCS, we’re dedicated to making high-quality private Christian school education accessible for every family who desires it. This is why we offer a Variable Tuition program where families can receive tuition assistance with careful consideration of their personal and financial background.
A year on average is given in tuition assistance through the Education Improvement Tax Credit program and through donations to the school’s annual fund.
Of our student body receives tuition assistance
“ To those who want to send their kids PCS but don’t think it can happen, there are people making it happen. If it weren’t for tuition assistance, our daughters would not be here. Our daughters come home from school joyful and full of stories. Plumstead Christian School is assisting me in raising our kids well.”
Ben & Kristi Rivera, PCS Parents
Variable Tuition is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach — it is highly customizable based on your family’s needs. Thanks to the help of our donors, sponsors, and fundraising activities, Plumstead Christian School is accessible to many qualified families who would not otherwise be able to join our school community.
Questions? See the FAQs below to learn more about Variable Tuition, or contact us at (215) 766-8073 for more information.
| Grade Level | Full Tuition* | Tuition Assistance** |
|---|---|---|
| Kindergarten Half-day | $10,550 | Up to $5,275 |
| Kindergarten Full-day | $13,300 | Up to $6,650 |
| 1st–5th Grade | $14,825 | Up to $7,400 |
| 6th–8th Grade | $17,450 | Up to $8,725 |
| 9th–12th Grade | $20,375 | Up to $10,200 |
*Tuition ranges are based on the typical costs after the family receives financial aid, and the maximum amount within this range is the full cost of tuition.
**If the cost of tuition is a barrier to your child’s attendance at Plumstead Christian School, consider applying to our Variable Tuition Program. Based on their unique financial situations, families may receive as much as a 50% reduction in tuition. Contact us at (215) 766-8073 to know more.

New families may apply for Variable Tuition in conjunction with their application process. Current families may apply for the following year starting in December and during the continued enrollment period. The application is available at https://studentfinancialaid.blackbaud.school/, and the PCS School ID is 15416.
All families with children entering K-12th grades are eligible for Variable Tuition. Families can apply through our third-party provider’s website. Each family’s tuition rate is determined based on their assessment and our Variable Tuition Committee review,
Many factors are considered, including income, assets, expenses, family size, and the number of children currently attending PCS.
No. We determine if a student and their family are a right fit during admissions, and applying for tuition assistance is certainly not a factor in this process.
After you have submitted an online variable tuition application, the process generally takes 2-4 weeks as long as all required information has been submitted to our confidential third-party agency. Determinations will be communicated to new families once the admissions application is complete. Please be sure to note our admissions deadlines.
I’m Irene Mathew, the Admissions Coordinator at PCS! If you have more questions or are in need of assistance in your application process, I would be happy to help.

Applications for the 2026-27 school year are now available! While our early action deadline has passed, we continue to accept applications on a rolling basis until all classes are full. Apply today!
There is a $220 application fee (per family for grades K-12) and $120 application fee for preschool. A $60 placement testing fee (per child) is required for Kindergarten and 1st grade, and as requested for grades 2-12.
We encourage you to visit our campus and experience the PCS community in person before beginning the application process. Next, complete the online application and provide all requested supplemental forms and materials along with the application fee and placement testing fee (if applicable).
Once all items are received, student application files will be presented to the admissions committee for review; a decision regarding acceptance will be communicated on our key admissions dates during the peak admissions season, or within 2-3 weeks if submitted on a rolling basis after the admissions deadlines.
Our goal is to match students/families with our school’s mission by evaluating applicants on the spiritual, academic, and behavioral requirements identified on our application.
Feel free to contact our Admissions Coordinator, Irene Mathew, at any time: 215-766-8073 ext. 203 or admissions@plumsteadchristian.org and you will receive a response within one business day. We are privileged to serve your family!
The PCS International Student Program is designed to provide the opportunity for students to join a private Christian school environment where they will learn, study, and experience American culture. We welcome applicants from around the world who desire a college-preparatory education in grades 7-12. We are pleased to offer a rigorous academic curriculum taught from a biblical perspective.
We invite a limited number of international students into our nurturing and loving environment where they will undoubtedly come to know about God’s grace, be encouraged in their own faith, and discover a community filled with compassion and service towards others. We strive to work individually with each student to help them reach their full potential as they grow and mature academically, spiritually and socially. Our small class sizes allow for a personalized learning experience!
PCS is an F-1 approved school. We welcome students who require an I-20 for admission to the United States to further their studies and experience a vibrant community and culture. Students are selected based on their scholastic achievements, leadership qualities, community service, ability to speak, read, and write in English, and a desire for a cross cultural experience in the United States. Since Plumstead Christian School does not offer an ESL program, students who are admitted to PCS must have sufficient proficiency to understand material and communicate with peers and teachers, with limited assistance.
Students will experience courses in mathematics, history, science, literature, writing, bible, technology, art, music, life skills, and more. Honors, advanced placement (AP) and dual enrollment courses are offered to students to challenge and inspire them academically. We desire that students participate in our fine arts and athletic programs. Student involvement is strongly encouraged as this is a great way to experience all that the school offers, and to provide a well-rounded educational journey. Our program is offered on an annual basis (Sept-May) or a semester basis.
Complete the following steps to enroll in the International Student Program at PCS:
1. Complete an “International Student” application on our website, including the following:
– $350 non-refundable application fee
– TOEFL (grades 10-12) or TOEFL Jr. (grades 7-9) report
– Transcript from past and current school year
– Recommendations from English and Math Teachers
– Personal Statement (must be written by the applicant)
– Copy of Passport
2. Schedule Video Interview: After the application has been reviewed, including the items listed above, a video interview will be scheduled with our Admissions Committee to assess English proficiency and to “meet” the student.
3. The school will issue a letter stating the official admissions decision.
4. To secure the student’s position in the program, the parents must sign an Enrollment Agreement, provide medical records and the required medical health form, and remit the annual tuition and international student fees. An I-20 will not be issued until the application fee and annual tuition is paid in full.
5. Upon receipt of the Enrollment Agreement and Fees, the school will issue an I-20, which must be presented to the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in order to obtain an F-1 visa.
6. The family is to prepare travel arrangements to arrive to the United States prior to new student orientation (typically by August 20th).
Note: We do not accept new, incoming students as a Senior (12th); the highest acceptance level that students can enter the school is as a Junior (11th).
An integral part of the PCS International Student Program is our homestay arrangements. A priority of our program is a safe and nurturing Christian home for all of our International Students. PCS is committed to providing a caring home environment, and we work to match students with Christian families in our school community who have been through our host family approval process. Transportation to and from school is provided by PCS for regular school hours, and host families are asked to commit to assisting with transportation for after school activities. The cost of the homestay program is in addition to the school’s tuition and fees.
International admission is considered on a rolling basis. Preference is given to students who apply early, but applications will be accepted as long as space remains available. Since the enrollment of an international student involves several steps and procedures, it is generally necessary that all steps of the admissions process be completed by June 15th each year, to accommodate the late August school start date.
Please contact us to learn more about the tuition and fees for international students.
We look forward to meeting with you!
