Valley Christian Schools

• Private School

• 78 reviews

Parent: Great school! The community feel at Valley Christian is second to none. The school has exceeded our exceptions in every area other than athletics. This school is loaded with athletes but sports is not a real priority here. The will claim that it is but it isn’t. The AD is a basketball coach who hasn’t figured out that if you run the sports program like a business the school will flourish with funds to help further the mission of touching more lives.

Alum: I transferred to PRCA from a public high school and I was extreamy nervous, however right away I felt comfortable thanks to the marvellous students and staff. I knew I would like the school but I didn’t expect to have such amazing teachers that genuinely cared about me! The teachers want you to succeed in their students academics, faith, and life and general. The teachers and staff are some of the most amazing people I have ever met in my entire life and I will forever be grateful to them for impacting my life in such an amazing way!

Northwest Christian School

• Private School
• Phoenix, AZ
• PK, K-12
• 145 reviews

Senior: Overall, I really enjoyed my time at NCS. The people are what make the school- the teachers, students, and administrators were great. My biggest complaint about NCS was the options for advanced coursework. If you are looking for a school with a strong AP program, this is not it. That being said, most of my classes were engaging and well-taught, particularly the honors ones. The work was not always challenging, but it was time-consuming (expect 2-5hrs of homework). Additionally, there are a limited number of clubs to get involved in, but if you make an effort, you will find plenty to do. Even if I may not have had all the opportunities that I would have at a larger public school, Northwest provided something great: it helped me develop a Christian worldview. Being surrounded by peers and teachers who continually pointed me toward Christ was what really made a difference in my high school experience.

Valley Lutheran High School

• Private School
• Phoenix, AZ
• 9-12
• 52 reviews

Senior: I loved my four years at Valley. I was able to play three Varsity sports all four years. I was also involved in Student Government and National Honor Society. There was ample opportunities for service in the community. I also enjoyed the Christian aspect of the school and how our beliefs filtered into every class and subject. I was challenged to think critically and learn about current events. I was supported in my strengths and encourage in my areas that needed improvement. College prep was a strong part of my last two years also.

Arizona Lutheran Academy

• 27 reviews

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!

Gilbert Christian Schools

• Private School

• PK, K-12
• 99 reviews

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!

Veritas Christian Community School

• 10 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.

Parent: We love Tri-City Christian Academy! We sent all three of our children to this school from K-4 through 12th grade. They received an excellent education that prepared them well for their careers as adults. All of our children were involved in a variety of extra-curricular activities and loved the opportunities they had to do so. The teachers and staff taught and guided our children with love and gave them a strong biblical world view. We are so thankful for the school and the positive, godly impact it had on our children!

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! God continue to bless this school and all who walk through its gates.

Phoenix Christian Preparatory School

• Private School
• Phoenix, AZ
• PK, K-12
• 55 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!

Sophomore: Faith Christian is a great school, not only for its rigorous academics, but its "family feel." Because of its small size, Faith students and staff interact and become close through extra-curricular events and classes!

Trinity Christian School

• Private School
• Prescott, AZ
• K-12
• 31 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.

Love the connection with Dream City Church. The chapels are so much fun for the kids and always have a great message. They also have an amazing international program which has given my child the opportunity to meet kids from all over the world.

Redeemer Christian School

• Private School
• Mesa, AZ
• K-12
• 5 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.

91st Psalm Christian School

• Private School

• 4 reviews

Senior: I have gone to 91PCS since I was in 8th grade, and I can honestly say moving here was one of the best choices in my life. 91PCS has a mission to train up Godly servant leaders and I 100% say that they make that known. 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.

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!

Niche User: The new, modern facility supports 21st Century academics, a safe environment, potential for growth, and a commitment to excellence -- all from a Christ-centered worldview. NVCA is starting its third year in the new facility and its second year with a 12th grade, so there is still room to grow and learn how best to leverage the facility. One area in particular is the school's initiative in developing online curricula from a Christ-centered perspective using the online platform of Grand Canyon University. Its blended program is likely to be a model for Christian schools and I believe by 2021, NVCA will be one of the top ranked schools in the Valley.

Freedom Christian Academy

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.
