Faculty & Staff
All of the faculty members at Phoenix Christian School PreK-8 are state-certified teachers. The majority of our PCS teachers have graduated from Christian Universities that have a specifically reformed perspective. PCS teachers believe each student is uniquely loved by God, and PCS teachers help students to understand each subject area through the lens of God’s Word. In addition, school policy requires teachers to also be trained and certified in CPR and first aid.
