Mission Statement: Our mission, for the glory of God, is to be the high school preparatory of choice

Perhaps it would be helpful for you to understand the following requirements need to be met before a student may be considered for admission:

1. At least one parent is a believer and will attest to a personal relationship in their life with the Lord Jesus Christ.

2. At least one parent is actively attending a local evangelical, Bible-believing church with their student.

3. The student being considered for admission has not been expelled from another school for disciplinary reasons

It is our prayer that we will be able to serve you and your family now, and in the years ahead.

The focus is to prepare students for exemplary Christian citizenship to become servant leaders. We believe in partnering with parents in this pursuit.

Our objectives are five-fold:
1. To provide a scholarly, Christ centered community instilling Biblical values by nurturing spiritual growth.

2. Establish, assess, and achieve clear and measurable academic learning goals.

3. Recruit, develop and retain quality, Christian, professional educators and staff.

4. Foster parental involvement and effective communication.

5. Model exemplary stewardship of our God-given resources. In these ways we will partner with parents in the pursuit of preparing exemplary Christian citizens and servant leaders.

The spiritual and academic legacy of Paradise Valley Christian Preparatory is over 34 years old. The school began when founding parents, Robert and Barbara Fraley adopted a family of 6-orphaned children (in addition to their own children)who were members of their church. A few months after taking the children into their home they decided to send them to a Christian school, one with a wholesome, spiritual atmosphere. About a year later after enrolling the children in a Christian grade school, the school folded. A few parents, including the Fraley's, rallied and founded Paradise Valley Christian School. From this wonderful story the school has grown to over 460+ students. Many of our families are alumni returning with their own children.

Paradise Valley Christian Preparatory offers pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students a scholarly, Christ centered education which prepares them for high school. At PVCP you will find a community of academic excellence where students of all levels are able to seek their potential. PVCP is a close knit community offering advanced math, Spanish throughout all grades, Latin, band, strings, choir, drama, physical education, art, technology lab, media center, after school sports and extended day care. PVCP is accredited through the Association of Christian Schools International and the North Central Association. Located at 24th Street and Cactus Road.
