School Reviews
5 7/27/2012
Arizona Lutheran Academy is a hidden jewel in PHoenix. It has rigorous academics, although not many AP or Honors courses. The Fine Arts and Athletics are exemplary though. The staff also seems to be very cohesive and dedicated. Only one teacher has left since our child has been there. I think it has a terrific Christian environment where the faculty appears to truly "walk the walk."
Endorse Arizona Lutheran Academy. Endorsements should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
- Academic or athletic awards
