Senior: ALA is a small school, but not lacking. The size is actually a blessing because everyone knows each other, and it gives opportunity for really close friendships. It is also obvious that all of the teachers truly care about the students and are always ready and willing to help the students in any way they can. The school centers around Christ, creating an amazing school culture. Of course it's not perfect, but for the most part, everyone treats each other with love and respect. Another perk of a small school is that students are blessed with many opportunities for extra curricular activities...Read 74 Reviews

Senior: I have been attending Pusch Ridge Christian Academy for the past four years and can honestly say it has been the best four educational years of my life. Prior to attending PRCA, I attended Amphitheater Public Schools (Wilson K-8 for Middle School and Copper Creek for Elementary School). What makes PRCA so outstanding, besides the small class sizes, positive school culture, and rigorous, college-preparatory academics is the genuinely caring, highly intelligent, and tenured teachers and administrators. Our school campus is safe and beautifully situated next to the Pusch Ridge Mountains so it's a very calming school environment. Our cafeteria food is fresh, healthy, and fabulous! The Sports, Music, Drama, STEM Programs, and Parent Involvement are also outstanding. I would highly recommend PRCA to anyone I meet...Read 157 Reviews

Senior: Overall, I feel that valley has allowed me to mentally prepare for the college level in ways such as academics, life experiences, as well as the social aspect. Valley Lutheran has a great community of people and allows for acceptance and new beginnings. What is also nice is there is more personal connections with staff and they make sure to create a pleasant work environment for the students. The athletics are also a major plus when it comes to valley because they are able to provide each student with the ability to play any sport they please as well as doubling sports in a season if requested. In my case, during the duration of the fall season, I was able to participate in cross country, volleyball and the fall drama all at the same time as well as taking a full course of honors classes!...Read 58 Reviews

Works Here: This is by far the best school located in the heart of Chandler, if not the entire state of Arizona. This community is special. People here truly seek Christ first and have made an impact on my life. The staff and faculty pour into the students and prepare them well for life after High School. The mission trips offered here are phenomenal too. I'm thankful to walk onto this campus each day and work at such a great place. I'm excited to see this school continue to grow and can't wait to see what it looks like in five years. Go Trojans!...Read 111 Reviews

Senior: Gilbert Christian Schools is a private school that has amazing teachers and staff members that truly care about their students. All the teachers there desire to see the students understand the material. It is very easy to build relationships with the adults on campus. The atmosphere is a very different feel as some students there are in fact Christian while others are not. Some students fake it and go through the motions, while concealing their true identity...Read 113 Reviews

Parent: Overall a great school. My children watched faith in action from their teachers and coaches. The parents are actively involved with supporting the mission of the school, to impact our world for Christ and to teach students to think, reason, and become the next generation of problem solvers. I love Desert Christian Schools from preschool up to seniors in high school. All of my children have been well prepared for college and made life long friendships with peers who encourage them in their faith!

Parent: Our family is so fortunate to have found Dream City Christian School. Our kids are flourishing. The class sizes are small and many of the teachers have been there for years. The teachers are caring and kind. The weekly chapel and bible centered education has given my children excitement about Christ. The vast array of extracurricular activities for children from Kinder and beyond is very enjoyable. This school offers after school sports, theater programs, fine arts, and has a great STEM program. They also offer MANY family friendly events and activities that make this a very fun community to be part of. In getting to know the administration, they seem open to new suggestions and address concerns. We are excited to see what the future brings at DCC...Read 69 Reviews

I have learned more at Veritas than I would have in public school. There is only so much one can do with only 120 kids from kindergarten to twelfth grade. in the secondary, there are about 45 kids...Read 11 Reviews

Senior: Northwest Christian School has prepared me very well for college. The teachers genuinely care about the students and the school provides many wonderful resources for students whether it's trying to find the best college for you, needing good research for a research paper, or needing spiritual guidance. Northwest Christian School really focuses on building a good community for students to grow into who they are. My favorite thing about Northwest Christian School is that you get the chance to know everyone in your graduating class. Moving forward, the academics are very good and Northwest Christian School offers numerous classes that can be taken for dual enrollment for college. Therefore, students can graduate high school with up to an entire year of college done...Read 157 Reviews

Senior: Faith Christian School has enabled me to grow spiritually, academically, and physically and has provided a wonderful place of refuge no matter what! So many of the teachers care about each student personally and make it their goal to make positive, mentor-like connections with everyone. Courses are rigorous, yet rewarding, and always teach the importance of problem solving, teamwork, and critical thinking. And, even within a changing society, FCS maintains a Biblical-based approach to every aspect of life, and equips students to enter the world with a strong knowledge of Christ and a worldview that aligns with Scripture...Read 38 Reviews

  Rating 3.92 out of 5  62 reviews

Senior: My overall experience at Phoenix Christian has been very good. I have made a tight connection with people over the course of my four years. The sports are above average and the education is pretty good. I have one major complaint however. With all of the foreign exchange, and new program like Heart for the City, there leaves a gap in diversity. The school is not as unified as it could be. Often times everyone has their own little group and that’s how it stays. If only the school was a little bit more unified, my experience would have been just a bit better. Overall though, great school and a great Christian education!...Read 62 Reviews

Alum: I went to Trinity for all four years of high school. It's a Classical learning school, so we had extra classes called Logic and Rhetoric that helped our critical thinking skills as well as how to form a good argument. Its a private school, so there is a tuition, but with how large its been growing recently, tuition has been going down and if its still not affordable there are ways to get "sponsors" or even scholarships for your child that will help pay for a certain amount of time or pay a certain amount of money. The staff is great, they are all knowledgeable in their fields that they teach and the students grow close to the teachers since the teachers have a want to get to know students and help them...Read 32 Reviews

  Rating 4.06 out of 5  35 reviews

Parent: We transferred our kids from public school because they did not get challenged enough. We first attended a band/choir recital, & we were sold! We looked into it some more, &were happy. Kids R held accountable, which is a huge life skill! Rebellion is dealt with in a kindly manner, and counseling is always offered. Parents R involved in disciplinary decisions, as they R partners w/ the school...Academic ratings R good / the state accreditation. Teachers are super dedicated, not only to academics, but also are catering to the person as a whole, spiritually, and other areas of development. Being a small school, athletics is not it's forte, yet mostly dictated by resources and availability of participants. Attn to safety is top priority &the rule of this 'land' is "love your neighbor as yourself." Staff is superior to any school I've seen. I never felt pressured to join the church, yet found a family here. I would like to write more, space is limited. This school is top notch, IMHO!Read 35 Reviews

Senior: Redeemer is a k-12 classical Christian school. I've been going there ever since kindergarten and am going there for my senior year soon. It is a small school so you get to know every single person there. You will even find high schoolers interacting with kindergarteners! Since the class sizes are very small (usually 20 at most per classroom), the teachers are very involved with the students and it's a very personal learning experience. They teach you how to think for yourself and stand your ground in a world that is ready to toss you to the wind. I would change nothing about this school and I am so thankful I get to spend every single year of grade school here...Read 8 Reviews

At 91PCS the teachers truly care for the students and care for their futures. When a student is enrolled, they become apart of the family. Everyone is loved and treated well. Teachers strive to make sure that by the time you graduate, you not only have the key information for life, but a strong relationship with Christ...Read 5 Reviews

  Rating 5 out of 5  2 reviews

Senior: From kindergarten to 12th grade, Veritas pushes students to learn all they can and inspires them to do more. The classical education style can be a bit of a challenge at times but it is refreshing to learn the way that scholars in the past did. One major benefit I found was the University style that Veritas used with all their students. Those who are in k-6 spend 3 days doing at-home school and learning with their parent co-teacher. Grades 7-12 spend 2 days doing at-home school, where they function on more of a self-disciplined schedule. It is a great way to learn independence while also getting to spend more time with family and building those bonds. There are so many activities and events offered here, enough to find what you enjoy. From fall dance to sculpting, students never feel left out or bored of the community. Speaking of community; the bond of students, parents, and teachers is so strong here. We always feel represented and understood. It’s been a great experience...Read 2 Reviews
