Overview
Mission
We prepare students academically and spiritually for their future calling, while developing relationships where students are known, challenged, and loved. Continuing to expand to minister to families in the Lincoln area, a preschool and daycare were opened in the fall of 1991. Today, Parkview Christian Schools operates three separate locations for preschool and daycare for young children. Early on, Parkview Christian School played a central role in a nationwide struggle for religious freedom in private schools. In the spring of 1983, Parkview Christian School was ordered by a judge to finish the school year and not reopen in the fall. This announcement brought an outpouring of prayers and support nationwide from Christians concerned about the overt intervention of the state into church and private school affairs. A bill was passed by the Nebra.
What it reported doing in 2024
To partner with parents in moving students toward their God given potential through Biblical instructions, character accountability, challenging curriculum and appropriate co-curricular opportunities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
