Parent: We have been at PVCP since 2014 and we have been blessed beyond measure! We have 3 daughters that are all at the school and have attended since they were in the Pek 3s class. The teachers, curriculum and community are unmatched. I have worked in Higher Education within the education field and have an understanding of what makes a great teacher and great curriculum and this school goes above and beyond. My daughters, even at the young age of 3, were truly learning the fundamentals to get them ready for Kinder. They also developed an understanding of their faith and it grows in abundance throughout their schooling. We feel that the school is a true extension of our home. It feels like home there. If you want a highly academic school grounded in Christ, this school is for you!... Read 40 reviews

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 78 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 122 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!...

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 162 reviews

Parent: We transferred our kids to Desert Christian Pre-K & K-8, from the Vail Unified School District 3 years ago, and we couldn't imagine going back. DCS is our families 2nd home. Our youngest did 2 years in Desert's Pre-K and our older children are going into 3rd and 5th grade. The campus, staff and administration are the best, true disciples of Christ. Our children have developed substantially: spiritually, socially and academically. We are so blessed for our children to attend Desert Christian. Tax credit donations and scholarships make it possible! What was once a dream, is now a reality. Our children deserve the best possible education and that's exactly what Desert Christian delivers!...

Parent: My daughter absolutely loves TCA! She has been attending since K4 and is currently in 4th grade. All of her teachers have been highly trained educators, while also showing compassion and concern for her spiritual relationship with God. The school has rigorous academics and also offers quality sports and music activities. TCA is definitely an important part of our life and we plan on keeping our daughter here for the foreseeable future.... Read 38 reviews

Senior: First Veritas is not for everyone, it was good for me because I was able to get one on one with the teachers, after all, there are only two of us in my grade. 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 12 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 170 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 33 reviews

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 72 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 65 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....

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....

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

Athletics here and the atmosphere that surrounds them are amazing. I am currently on the SCA swimming team, and I could never have been happier with the team and my coach. I am so thankful my parents have supported me through my athletic and academic journey here at SCA!... Read 21 reviews
