Portage Christian School mission is to impart God's wisdom for Godly living to our students through the education process.
Christian education involves more than just a chapel service of a few Bible classes; it is an extension of the Christian home and church which integrates Christian thinking into all areas of study.
It requires a commitment from parents for academic and spiritual excellence; it requires a commitment from the student to develop spiritual, intellectual and physical gifts to the fullest potential; it requires a commitment from the faculty and staff which makes this development possible.
