The Portland Christian School System, based in Louisville, Kentucky, with campuses in the Portland and Eastside neighborhoods of Louisville, is a private Christian school traditionally supported and affiliated with those churches of Christ which held to a premillennial eschatology characteristic of Robert Henry Boll. Founded in 1924 in the rear of the Portland Avenue Church of Christ with Boll's support, today the school system has over three hundred students attending two campuses in Louisville. The school's mission statement states that it is "committed to honoring our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the creator of all things, with a learning environment that is based on biblical principles and is intellectually stimulating. Our desire is to work cooperatively with the student's home and church, 'so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.' II Tim. 3:17 (NIV)".
The former college-level division of PCS was the School of Biblical Studies which now operates independently as Kentuckiana Bibile College.
Portland Christian is operated by the non-profit Portland Christian School System, Inc., which was formed in 2005 after it and Portland Ave. Church of Christ decided that "the operations of the system has outgrown the ability of the Church to administer".

“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”

“There is not a Musselman alive who would not imagine that he was performing an action pleasing to God and his Holy Prophet by exterminating every Christian on earth, while the Christians are scarcely more tolerant on their side.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
