School Reviews

Phoenix Christian Preparatory School has been a wonderful blessing to my family and me since early 2023. I first engaged with the school as an outsourced service provider, and I fell in love with it so much that we moved from the suburbs to the city just to place our elementary-aged child here! Everyone is exceptionally kind, and our son is learning Biblical truths as a part of his core education daily. We are so thankful for this amazing school that has become a wonderful, tight-knit community for our family!
