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 161 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!...

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

Parent: I have always been a big believer in public schools. We chose our home based on school district. I volunteered extensively every year. Eventually, I had to accept that the standard public school experience was failing my son, despite our best efforts. We acted on a recommendation from our neighbor and enrolled our son at St. Michael's. To say that his two years at this school (7th & 8th grades) transformed his life and trajectory is not an overstatement. His peers were welcoming, his teachers firm but nurturing. All of the defenses he had built up from years of bullying fell away once he realized that he was safe and valued. The educational demands and individual expectations are high, but the support is unrivaled. My son excelled academically and in the arts, and was recognized and encouraged as a leader. He is confident and well-prepared for high school and beyond. We love St. Michael's School!... Read 1 review
