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
• 150 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
• 53 reviews

Senior: Valley Lutheran High School is very inviting and welcoming. It is a smaller, Lutheran high school, so the culture and atmosphere allows all students to be involved in many music, sports, academics, drama, etc. opportunities, and accounts for the close, family ties between students and teachers. Many AP courses are offered, as are a myriad of sports options, and choir, band, worship band, and drama are all very popular extra-curriculars. The best thing about Valley Lutheran is that students get to learn about the saving grace and forgiveness of Jesus every day through chapel, devotions, family groups, theology classes, and the kindness of peers and teachers.

Senior: Is the best experience that I ever had! They are really supportive. Nice teachers! They really prepare the kids to college. A lot of homework. They have help classes after school. That really help me with my grades. I am a international student and my English improve so much reading a lot of books with the school. Great books! For example: The stranger, Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice.

Freshman: I love this school! When I was in 8th grade I thought for sure that I was going to a different school, but when I came and shadowed at this school, I saw what a great school ALA is. The support that you get from teachers and staff is amazing. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I would recommend ALA for anyone who is looking for a good Christ-centered education.

Gilbert Christian Schools

• Private School

• PK, K-12
• 106 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

• Private School

• K-12
• 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
• 57 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!

Faith Christian School

• Private School
• Mesa, AZ
• K-12
• 13 reviews

Senior: I have attended Faith Christian School for going on 13 years and have been heavily involved in their various programs. That being said, I know many of the ups and downs very well. I absolutely love the school atmosphere and the family community that we have. Small class sizes ensures no one is ever overlooked; we are all very close. I find myself consistently ahead of other students in my grade from other schools, which has shown that the academics really are advanced. Teachers always explain things well and are there to help when you need it. Everything is taught from a Christian worldview, not only Bible class, which is my favorite thing about the education. I would like to see changes in the organization and communication, as I have experienced much frustration on the planning end of events. Overall, I would not trade my years at Faith for the world; I count them among the greatest blessings in my life.

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.

Parent: Our family has been part of Joy for many years. Love the Christ centered environment along with the Administration. Wonderful teachers, great STEM program and academics. 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!

Senior: My experience throughout Immanuel Mission School was satisfying. It is a well organized private, Christian school but the thing that I would like to see changed is their disadvantage to allow students to do duel credit for college.

Freedom Christian Academy

• Private School

• K-12
• 4 reviews

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.
