Welcome

As Principal of Phoenix Christian School PreK-8, welcome to our website. Beginning our 52nd year of Christian education, we are so grateful for the opportunity to impact three generations of students, an impact that lasts a lifetime!

Those beginning days in our history started with a small group of families from the Phoenix Christian Reformed Church. Their predominant purpose for a Christian school was to provide Christian parents with a Christ-centered educational environment, where the home, church and school worked together, each mutually supporting the other. They began with little money, much prayer and a lot of determination. The first classrooms of Phoenix Christian Grade School opened in September of 1959.

We still believe as our founding families did. Children must be able to gain an understanding of God’s great love for them and to rely on His Word as the foundation for all wisdom and learning. We strive to incorporate the relevancy of God’s truth into the life and education of each student.

Education is our business, but teaching is our love. Phoenix Christian School PreK-8 teachers make a difference in the life of each child. We work hard to provide a schoolwide environment which is fertile for learning and growing in God's world.

Our new gymnasium will provide students the opportunity to participate in physical education classes as well as extra-curricular sports competition. We can't wait for the first volleyball game and basketball game to be played in gym.  We are so thankful to God for this wonderful blessing to our school! 

Please browse through our website and see what our school has to offer.  We look forwad to the opportunity to give you a tour of our campus.

In His Court,

Sue Vander Ploeg

 Principal
