Parent: Wonderful school for my son in High School. Attentive teachers, they take the time to educate and assist the kids in learning to be responsible. Sports program is solid, they work with all kids who want to participate, yet are competitive. The kids are well rounded, and kind, led by strong Christian leaders. This school has completely changed my son, he's more grounded, social and working to go to a top notch collage. They have many outside activities to keep the kids engaged and involved and the culture is welcoming and warm. It's what you want a HS to be like. Would recommend and do every chance I get!

Valley Lutheran High School

Senior: This is a wonderful school. I'm glad that I choose this school for study abroad. They help international students have a great time and be able to learn about American culture. The teachers here are really friendly. They try to help students all the time. They listen, help and share their experiences with students. This is why relationship between school and students is very good. They built a new building in 2016 and it's very nice and modern. Each class has less than 25 students so teacher can care about their students better. This is a Christian school, therefore they have many activities in school time to help community. This is a small school so making friends is really easy. The students who graduated from Valley, usually get in many good university in America.

Northwest Christian School

• Private School

Senior: I have been going to Northwest Christian since preschool. The school's environment is very warm and friendly. The teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable in their subjects, and work hard for their students to excel. Every year, the administration is constantly improving things in school such as curriculum and implementing technology like ipads for every student. However, there are somethings I would like to see changed. There are only a few clubs for high schoolers, and I wish we had more. In addition, I wish more there are more stem level classes because I believe it prepares us for college.

Senior: I started going to Desert for 8th grade. I hated 8th grade, to be honest. I also went to Desert Christian High School all of high school. I loved my time there in high school because everyone is so nice. The faculty and staff people actually want to help you and they truly care for you. The students are really great and funny. It was the first place that truly felt like home for me and it was where I made my best friends. Together, we all worshipped Christ our Savior, and were challenged in different ways, but we made it, and through it all, God was there!

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.

Arizona Lutheran Academy

Parent: We have had one of our children graduate from ALA and two of our children currently attend. They have loved being at this school! ALA has done a great job of making us feel like part of the ALA family. Our children are academically challenged and well prepared for college after attending ALA. Because it is a small school, they have had the opportunity to build leadership skills and have been involved in sports, music, drama and student government. Overall, a great high school experience!

Phoenix Christian Preparatory School

Works Here: Both of my children graduated from Phoenix Christian (2014 & 2018). They attended since preschool. I could not be happier for the young people they are now...bright, responsible, considerate, innovative, kind, helpful and they love the Lord. They made great, life-long friends and I did, too, with other parents. The teachers truly go above and beyond and are available to help any student who desires such. Supreme care for the whole child is very evident in everything the school does.

Faith Christian School

• Private School
• Mesa, AZ
• K-12

High School Senior: I have gone to multiple schools, but this one provides the most diverse classroom experience with its international students. It has a lot of thought provoking classes which really develop an individual's ideology and are given the opportunity to explore a lot of different perspectives. The Overall Experience at Faith is just great and I would go there again if I had to choose what school to go to. One place that could be improved is the integrating of higher level classes into the school curriculum. I am aware they are available, but having them in a class setting with multiple students together is much more educationally stimulating that doing them by oneself online.

Trinity Christian School

• Private School
• Prescott, AZ
• K-12
• 30

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: I have been attending the 91st Psalm Christian School for 13 years now, and I love it. I chose to stay here instead of moving to a different high school because there is no place better for my education. The teachers are truly dedicated to helping the students become better people educationally and spiritually. I would not change a thing.

Junior: I have been going to SCA since Kindergaren (so it’s been about 12 years now) and I absolutely love it. Our teachers care about the students and personally get to know them. 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!

Freedom Christian Academy

• Private School

• K-12

Parent: I have 3 children attending FCA and all of them started in Kindergarten. While the property is different than most schools, it helps to create a family environment that is not rigid. This allows even my shyest child to thrive and come out of her shell! It's a small school and therefore small-class sizes. This means more one-on-one attention for my kids to help them progress quickly or even get help in a troublesome subject. We are super blessed to have our children out of mainstream schools where exposure to controversial things is a daily occurrence.

Redeemer Christian School

• Private School

Parent: As a parent of two children of RCS, I can say without a doubt that Redeemer is the best school in the Valley. My children have come from public schools and can see the difference not just in academics, but in behavior from their classmates. They love coming to school every day because the kids here are so respectful of each other, are genuine, and they care about each other. The families and parents are not just friendly, but involved with each other as an extension of their family as well. The schools culture is about family, academics, and community. I love it and highly recommend this school to anyone. They work with School Tuition Organizations to make attending a private school a dream come true for your children and families.
