My time at FCS changed my life. I came in as an unbeliever who was very worldly and left knowing Christ personally and having a desire to help this broken world. I met a lot of great people and matured a lot during this time. I loved the sports we had at Faith and enjoyed playing each year. I very much enjoyed the retreats, as they brought me closer to the Lord and my fellow class mates. I also enjoyed how small the school was. I felt like I knew everyone and we were able to grow together. I am very thankful I attended Faith.

We are so very blessed to have our children be able to attend Faith Christian school! After one year I’ve seen the difference in their attitude, academic and intriguing in Godliness. I’m thankful for everyone of the staff members and volunteers and also their classmates. We will be looking forward to many more years w y’all 🙂

Faith Christian School has been a wonderful experience for both [of our children] at a critical point in each of their lives. From the first day we visited the school to inquire about enrolling, the staff began genuinely praying for our family. Every staff member we have met reflects a true love for the Lord and for the students. We are so thankful for a school that not only helps our children learn academics but also encourages them and helps them to be strong in Spirit!

FCS is a wonderful environment for students to excel at their academic plus the staff members are awesome, dedicated to seeing you succeed at whatever you set your mind to achieve.
– Solomon, FCS alum
My time at FCS was so special. I am so thankful and blessed to have had the opportunity to spend so many years at Faith. I am amazed at the number of students who touched my life and still stay in touch.
– Ellen, former FCS faculty
FCS has been a fixture in my life for as long as I can remember. As a student of a faculty member, I was involved in Faith for 17 years. I have some fond memories of the years when the school surrounded my life.
– Sarah, FCS alum
I have been part of the FCS family since the beginning. All 3 of my children attended from Jr High to graduation. My daughter returned to teach at FCS after college and now I have grandchildren attending here! FCS has been an integral part of my life for 30 years. I and my family, have been, and continue to be, so very blessed by the family of FCS in so many ways!
– Cindy, 2018
We’re thrilled and blessed so much by this school! Our children (in 11th grade, 4th and 1st) love their teachers and are doing great!! Even with the different leaning levels of each of our children, Faith has been able to meet them where they are and encourage and challenge then. We couldn’t be happier with the teachers and staff!
– Lisa, parent
We consider Faith part of our family, and we are thankful to God for all the memories we have created and look forward to the many more memories in store.
– Angel, parent and FCS staff
We have only been a part of FCS for K-4 and K-5, but we feel like we are part of one big family. Everyone has been welcoming, caring, and supportive from day one. Our child always comes home happy, he loves his school, friends, and everyone from the teachers to office staff. We truly feel blessed to be a part of the FCS family and look forward to the coming years. Thank you!
– Sarah, parent
Although it is only my daughters first year at FCS, I am thoroughly impressed with the entire experience! The staff is amazing and, my daughter has never received such individualized and compassionate care. She absolutely loves school and is able to maintain a steady pace given the generous support of the dedicated staff. In addition, the overwhelming sense of family is such a welcome relief as newcomers to the FCS family. We couldn’t be more thankful and blessed.
– Kayleen, parent
I love that I was able to be a part of every sports team Faith had. In a bigger school I never would have tried out because there would always be a better player. Since Faith was so small, we were able to try new things and learn skills I would have never learned.
– Logan, FCS alum
My time at FCS was instrumental in giving me the tools and foundation I needed to be the man I am today. All of my experiences at FCS, including interactions with the teachers, mission trips, athletics, and even the long walks to the principal’s office, helped to build my personality and my relationship with God. The memories I made in high school will be memories I cherish for the rest of my life.
– Rob, FCS alum
My daughter has attended faith for 11 years. It’s been an answer to prayers and a wonderful place to be part of. I am so grateful for the care and talent of all the teachers, they have really gone beyond anything I could imagine a teacher going during this time of distant learning! My daughter as a senior had trouble with senioritis from the second week of school! But because of this distant learning she is working better and learning so much better NO distractions. Thank you, Faith, for going above and beyond for our students! Praise be to God for the excellent school you are.
-Vicki S., Spring 2020
This school is amazing! Small class sizes, personal interaction with each student, teachers and volunteers who genuinely care for their students, and much more!

We have struggled for years with our 9th grader and the special ed program at a local charter school. He’s a bright kid…smart, curious, and eager to learn, and yet it’s like something just wasn’t clicking. He would spend hours on homework, still not complete it, and then still fail a test. We finally were able to place him in a private school due to a state scholarship program that provides funds when the public schools aren’t meeting the needs.
Faith was actually not our first choice…we didn’t even know much about it. But when our first choice suddenly closed it’s doors a month before school was supposed to start in 2014, we scrambled to find a new school. Faith not only accepted him with open arms, but within 2 weeks was giving us tools to help us figure out where the underlying problem was.
As it turned out, our son is dyslexic but nobody at the public or charter schools ever even tested him for it, nor would they recognize it as a specific need after diagnosis. Through additional testing, we were able to learn the best ways for him to learn and were given a list of ideas and tools to better teach him. We met with Faith administration and teachers with these lists and they not only accepted them, but were almost excited to learn how to better teach our son. They have since even invited a leading dyslexia expert in our community to talk to all the teachers during an in-service day. The combination of classroom “tweaks”, small class size, caring teachers and outside tutoring has not only caused our son to finally begin making progress with reading but has boosted his self esteem like we never expected.
I have no doubt that the caring atmosphere created by the students and staff are one of the top contributors of our son’s success. We moved our other two children there for the 2015 school year and could not be more grateful for this wonderful school!

This school is such a blessing in our life! My daughter continues to excel academically and spiritually and looks forward to going to school every day. The teachers and staff are like a second family for my daughter and I am so thankful for a school that I can trust sending my daughter to! We love it here!

Faith Christian school is the best school for international students. Faith was my first school in the US, and I was worried about whether I could adapt myself to a new environment such as new people, a new school, and place without family here. However, all the teachers and friends at Faith were a part of a family. They helped me with English improvement, American life, and also to have a stronger relationship with God! I really enjoyed the small class sizes, which allowed for a better relationship between teacher and student, and got me to know all the students. I could have stronger relationship with God through chapel and bible study. I will always be thankful for them. Faith is the best school ever!:)
-Minwha (former International Student)
The staff and teachers are truly dedicated to loving and taking care of each student. Helping students come to have a personal relationship with Christ is a top priority.

Faith has been the answer to our prayers. I can’t say enough positive things, it’s changed our lives. Our son felt like school was like prison prior to coming here. He now loves school and is excited to learn. I feel guilty for not enrolling him sooner.

The school district we live in has many issues. Our son spent kindergarten in that district and it was disastrous. Ever since that year, our son has attended private school. Thanks to the Arizona STO programs, we are able to send our children to Faith. This has made a world of difference to my son. Instead of trying to survive school, he is in an environment where the teachers know him well, care about him, and guide him. The smaller student body makes a huge difference. He is not lost in a sea of nameless faces. He is an individual with a purpose and a place in a school family. My daughter has never attended our public schools. She does not know the cold cruelty her brother faced. She has always been in classes where the love of Christ is the model for behavior, and it shows. Both of our children are bright, service-oriented, loving children. The teachers at Faith care. Many of them have their own children in the school and so they have a personal interest in seeing the school succeed. If you want a big flashy school where image matters, this is not the school for you. If you want a safe, loving, ethical, and family-like atmosphere and also desire a school that sets high expectations and helps kids get there, choose Faith.

This is our first year and we came here after our previous and nontraditional school closed. The faculty and staff and students accepted my kiddos right in to the Faith family. One of my children needed extra help and his teacher has gone above and beyond to help him get up to speed. Faith is a big family with a great academic foundation and a focus on Christ. There are many subjects taught, a lot of educational and fun field trips, and many specials and activities. I wish we would have found this school years ago. I cannot say enough about it.

My daughter LOVES Faith Christian School! She has been a part of the Faith family since Kindergarten and feels completely at home there. She has been given not only a strong academic foundation, but a strong spiritual foundation that has helped her grow in character and understanding of God’s word. The teachers and administrators work tirelessly to provide the most well-rounded education possible and they deeply care about the students. My daughter can be a handful, but the teachers are patient and compassionate, and know just the right balance of love and discipline. I am amazed at how much she has learned and at the quality of work she is able to produce. The small class sizes allow for her to get the attention she needs, but the whole student body interacts frequently which allows her to make a lot of friends. Tuition is affordable, especially with the Tuition Tax Credit program in Arizona, so everyone has the opportunity to be a part of this exciting program. I cannot speak more highly of the school and would encourage anyone to take a look.

Our son will complete his first year at Faith Christian School this month. He has absolutely loved it and has grown both academically and spiritually through the guidance of his teacher. Next year we plan to send our daughter to Faith as well. With multiple developmental delays and a high risk for ADHD, she qualifies for special education in the public school. But with the small class sizes at Faith combined with their special education instruction and Christ-centered teaching, we feel she will be better served and have more success at this school. We are truly blessed to be part of the Faith Christian School family.

Our daughter just completed her first year at Faith Christian.The teachers were encouraging and great to work with. She has some learning disabilities and had wonderful attention and help from the special needs teacher. We love the interaction between all of the staff and students. FCS has been a blessing to our family.

Our children have been at Faith for 4 years and we have been very satisfied at the level of education as well as the great love the teachers have for the kids. It is a wonderful place.

My sons have attended at Faith Christian for the past 7 years and we can’t stop thanking God for
the wonderful teachers and staff he’s brought into their lives. Faith strives to train up our children to become godly men and women. We are so excited about the new campus and what God is doing in the partnership with Christ Church. Praise God from whom all blessing flow!

The students are respectful which is so refreshing. The teachers are earnest about helping their students and are very accomodating with extra help as needed. The administration is professional and kind and efficient. Mr. Buckingham, the headmaster, is wise and seeks what is in the student’s best interest, which isn’t always the easiest. I found the school board to be fair when dealing with problem students.

I have been going to Faith since January 2008 . I came in in the middle of the school year, and they caught me up immediately with their curriculum . I was nervous about meeting friends but everyone comes up to you. Faith is like my second family everyone is amazing. And you learn about our Savior Jesus Christ.

Faith Christian School does more than just educate. Any school can do that. Faith is a parent’s partner in helping their kids follow Christ, become disciples, and serve others. The academics are great, extracurriculars are pretty good for a school of its size, and there’s absolutely a strong sense of family. We love this school.

Fantastic staff, students, and parents. Great academics and teachers who truly invest in and know your child. This school is developing the next generation of Christ centered difference makers. Lots of activities from sports to music as well as student council. Unique school trips too!! Faith ALL THE WAY!! We had spend many years at charter/public before moving to Faith and we sadly missed out on some years but that was God’s plan.

FCS has given my children a wonderful education. In elementary, they do so many wonderful field trips and they experience music, art, and computers. In high school, my children have been prepared for college and have become good thinkers. They articulate the truths of the Bible and have applied them to their own lives.

The teachers at Faith Christian School are very engaged. They tend to the need of every student, and have after school sessions with them in the case that they need any assistance. They are understanding of circumstances and always encourage and help the students improve themselves
