Developing Leaders from around the world to make an impact both home and abroad.
Students from all around the world attend Phoenix Christian for our International Student Program. With our focus on college prep and readiness, advanced curriculum, amazing host families, and inviting student body, students gain access to a wealth of opportunities.
Our Global Perspective
In one year alone, we welcomed students from China, Japan, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Sweden, Brazil, Spain, and France. We believe these students enrich our campus in distinct ways, teaching us about the uniqueness of their own cultures and reminding us of how much we have in common. It’s a beautiful display of diversity and appreciation for all nations
Testimonials
Voices from Our International Program
Our community welcomes students from around the world who seek fulfillment, opportunity, and excellence.
“When I first visited the Phoenix Christian campus, I felt the Lord calling me to be part of this community. After much prayer, my husband and I moved our family to Phoenix so our son could attend PC. That leap of faith eventually led to my role as Assistant Superintendent & International Student Director, where I now help other families take their own journeys of faith.”
“When the war came to my home, it was clear that I needed to make my education a privilege. Phoenix Christian was that place that gave me the opportunity to continue the full and thriving life, be educated, and explore myself.”
“Coming from China, I didn't know much about Christianity. But after I found Jesus, I was excited to come to Phoenix Christian and find answers to life's biggest questions as well as a faith community that welcomed me with open arms.”
“When I came to America, I was so nervous because that it was my first time leaving my parents. Once I arrived at PC, my worries were all gone. There are so many kind people, especially all of the teachers. The teachers helped me adjust well at PC. I love this school so much.”
