    Carden Christian Academy

    In June of 1999 North Swan Baptist Church, believing it to be God’s will, began a Christian School Ministry. Carden Christian Academy Central began the 1999-2000 school year with 28 students, four teachers, one extended care teacher, a kitchen manager and a secretary at 2727 N. Swan Road, Tucson, AZ. Carden Christian Academy Central began the 2000-2001 school year with growth. We have seen the student enrollment increase to 41 with four full-time faculty members. Our school now averages 65-75 students per year and we have grown to include 14 faculty members. The purpose of this independent Christian (non-denominational) school is to provide a creative, loving, academic environment for children to grow socially, emotionally, physically, academically and spiritually through individual and group learning experiences with the guidance and nurture of carefully chosen Christian teachers, and administrators under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Carden Christian Academy Central encourages students to grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, while providing the opportunity for academic excellence. The mission of Carden Christian Academy Central is to present the whole truth, for the whole man, for the whole of life, for the glory of God in order to produce Christ-centered children with the values, knowledge and skills required to impact tomorrow’s world. Being non-discriminatory and Christian in nature, Carden Christian Academy provides instruction concerning God’s will for each person and teaches that all truth is of divine origin. Biblical principles permeate every field of study. The one distinguishing mark of a Christian school relates to that one unique reason for Christian education: to gain a knowledge of the world from God’s point of view (rather than man’s) through the application of Biblical presuppositions in every area of the curriculum and school activity. Knowledge to choose between good and evil, based on God’s Holy Word, is imparted to each child.

    Faith Community Academy

    Students must maintain a 90% attendance rate (except if there is a doctor’s note on file). Accounts must be kept current (please see the “Current Account Policy”). Grades must be maintained at a C average. Failure to maintain these standards is grounds for losing your financial need scholarship. The Arizona Tax Credit Program – make it work for you! If you have family or friends in the state of Arizona that are willing to receive a tax credit for a donation, then you could potentially cover more of your tuition costs. Several School Tuition Organizations (STO’s) offer the option of donating money and recommending a specific student attending private school. You may not recommend your own dependent. However, your child’s grandparents, aunts & uncles, friends, etc., can recommend your student. According to the law, 10% of the donation is allowed to go to the STO to cover administrative costs. The remaining 90% may be awarded to your student in the form of a scholarship to cover tuition costs only. While STO’s traditionally follow recommendations for scholarships, the final decision to award funds rests solely with the School Tuition Organization. Maximum individual tax credit donations are updated annually in the brochures provided to us by IBE and people may give up to those limits so long as you don’t give beyond your state tax liability. Members of Faith Community Church are also encouraged to apply for a scholarship through our church fund. Please apply at www.cfslogin.com and create an account using our school registration number 24189. There is also a link on the home page of our website. Please follow the instructions on this Confidential Financial Analysis. Once completed, the school will send a letter of award and you will work with the bookkeeper. This award is disbursed monthly.

    First Southern Christian School

    First Southern Christian School was established to provide an academically excellent Christian education for boys and girls in our area. We emphasize the importance of faith in God and His revealed Word, the Bible and we challenge students to reach their full potential, academically. We define Christian education as spiritual training which encourages spiritual growth as it is described in the Bible. Our courses are taught in a Christian environment, with emphasis on the Christian view of God and the world. We share God's plan for redemption with our young men and women, and prepare them for lives of effective Christian service. Our teachers are born-again Christians who are well qualified academically and also spiritually mature. They are role models as well as instructors and are sensitive to the values taught in our churches and in Christian homes, and they work hard to encourage spiritual development in the students. We feel that First Southern Christian School is able to provide an education that is more complete than that offered by government-run schools. In addition to standard academic work, we are able to focus on spiritual matters, we study God's handiwork in many areas of life, and we discuss current topics in the light of God's revealed Word.

    Faith Christian Academy

    Faith Christian Academy started as a prayer in the hearts of a few families in 2009. They began meeting with local pastors to pray and plan for starting a private Christian school to reach the southwest side of Tucson. A school board was formed to begin the hard work of becoming a 501c3 private Christian school. After many hours of work, many prayers, and seeing those prayers answered as only God can, on September 1st, 2010, Faith Christian Academy officially started! We began with five students, two in sixth grade and three in ninth grade. 2011 more than doubled our number with 14 students attending and since then, God continues to send students our way! Paying for private Christian education can seem intimidating. But it is worth the sacrifice, since the experience of God-centered training is vital to the spiritual, academic, and social well-being of students. FCA is here to help you make quality Christian education affordable for your family! Click the button for some answers to frequently asked questions. Remember, your tuition may be substantially reduced by making use of the resources available to your family.

    Pusch Ridge Christian Academy South

    The mission of Pusch Ridge Christian Academy is to teach our students to become like Christ through a classical, Christian education within a covenantal community. We serve 800 students between the Grammar School (Developmental Kindergarten - 5th grade) and the Upper School (6th grade -12th grade) campuses. PRCA South will open with grades K-1 in August 2022 and eventually grow to serve students in grades K-12. This new campus is a Christian, classical, dual-language school on the south side of Tucson. PRCA is a ministry of Catalina Foothills Church, located at the corner of Orange Grove Road and Skyline Drive in Tucson. CFC is a congregation of The Presbyterian Church in America. We consider it a privilege that parents entrust us with their children, and we honor and respect the various backgrounds represented by our student body. While all of our students have different gifts and future plans, it is our goal for each student to graduate with the training and skills to engage the world with the truth of the Gospel. PRCA's Portrait of a Graduate defines the five key character traits that we have woven throughout our curriculum to prepare graduates to do the "good works which God had prepared beforehand." We desire our students to be Servant Leaders, Courageous Christians, Truth Seekers, Virtuous Stewards and Justice Keepers. God has brought us caring teachers who are invested in the lives of their students. Some have many years of experience and others are beginning their time at PRCA. All teachers complete a three-year leadership training program designed to guide and strengthen each new educator and receive intentional support provided through a mentoring program. The community that surrounds our school, including parents, alumni, grandparents, coaches and donors, is a crucial part of fulfilling our mission and in the success of our students and graduates. Those who invest in PRCA have the opportunity to encourage young people to be rooted in their faith in Christ and equip them to face challenges now and in the future.

    Castlehill Country Day School

    Castlehill Country Day School is a unique educational environment providing classes for toddlers through 5th graders. Our school is guided by the notion that there is no greater gift than the gift of education, but, not just any education, an excellent education in a nurturing environment. An environment where children can feel safe and secure, and loved; where they can study, but also play. The first years in a child’s development, as they mature from toddler to 5th grader, are so critical in influencing the later years in life. Every teacher, staff and volunteer at Castlehill believes in teaching the whole child – in addition to the standard curriculum, we emphasize the importance of teaching children to appreciate the arts, cultivate a love of reading, become stewards of the environment and contributing members to our community. To understand the Castlehill Country Day School philosophy we have to honor our founder, Mrs. Arline Schlossberg. She was truly the most amazing woman! She was loving and kind, caring and compassionate, smart and successful and the list goes on. She genuinely cared about everyone. Whether she had known you for years, or you were someone that she had just met, she embraced you just the same. Every single child at Castlehill was like one of her own, and she loved watching them learn and grow. Castlehill is her legacy, and her life’s work. She began Castlehill because she wanted to educate children in a loving way. It is truly a magical place. Her heart, soul and spirit are deeply rooted in everything here. In the 35 plus years that Castlehill has been in Tucson, it has been a gift to so many individuals across several generations. I had the privilege of attending Castlehill as a child. Mrs. Schlossberg was my aunt, and it was a shared dream of ours that I would one day take over the school. It is my great honor to follow in her footsteps, and to ensure that my own children, in addition to all of our students, continue to have this incredible environment to learn and grow.

    Veritas Academy of Tucson

    Veritas Academy of Tucson is a Christian, classical school that adheres to a university-type schedule. It began like so many things do – with a few people and a vision. In 2008, several families had been struggling with the schooling options available to them. They wanted their children to have an academically rigorous, Christ-centered education and – believing it was their God-given responsibility to disciple their children in Christ – desired to be significantly involved in administering that education. The result of their efforts was the formation of Veritas Academy of Tucson, which was officially accredited by Christian Schools International in 2021. As a Christian school, Veritas Academy aims to help parents raise up life-long learners in the training and admonition of the Lord by: Helping to preserve and strengthen the God-ordained family relationship through the University-Model of schooling®. Teaching children to think critically and creatively via the classical education model.

    International School of Tucson

    At the International School of Tucson, our focus is on the whole child as an individual. While we emphasize language and academics, social-emotional growth and physical development are just as important in the education of our children. Our curricula are child centered and inquiry based. We encourage our students to explore the world around them not only through books, but also through hands-on activities and real life events. During Junior School, students learn about themselves as growing and changing individuals with their own experiences and ideas, and as members of their communities. They become more mature, independent and self-confident with teamwork and Leadership as essential aspects of everyday school. They learn about the wider world and the interdependence of communities within it through integrated curricular in languages, sciences, history and geography. As they approach Grade 5 and the Middle school this integration becomes more relevant as they begin the curriculum based delivery of Character and Leadership development. The Program is through the UK Teaching Future Leaders program and is well proven and offers a social and emotional development of the individual. Students learn the differing attributes of what makes a leader and how to implement those tools and skills. It is a practical hands on program tracked against a development based assessment criteria.
