Serving Arizona Students in Grades K–12
About Us
-
Porter Hill Academy of Arts and Sciences is a fully online K–12 classical Christian school serving families across Arizona. We provide an education grounded in God’s truth and guided by a biblical worldview, where the arts and sciences are woven together with the truth of the Gospel to shape both heart and mind.
-
Following the classical Trivium of Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, we lead students through a time-tested path of learning. In the Grammar stage they delight in building a strong foundation of knowledge. In the Logic stage they learn to question, reason, and seek understanding. In the Rhetoric stage they are trained to express truth with wisdom, beauty, and conviction. This orderly progression nurtures both the mind and the character, preparing students to pursue knowledge that is unified, purposeful, and enduring.
-
Through our Learning Steward model, parents and guardians partner closely with the school to actively support their child’s academic growth. As Learning Stewards, they receive guidance, resources, and regular communication that enable them to extend classroom learning into the rhythms of home life. This shared responsibility fosters consistency between school and home, nurturing both intellectual development and character formation within the framework of a biblical worldview.
-
We prepare students to live faithfully, think deeply, and serve with integrity, equipping them to glorify God and contribute to their communities with wisdom, virtue, and purpose.
Our Mission
To shape students through a Classical Christian education grounded in a biblical worldview, uniting the arts and sciences with the truth of the Gospel to cultivate academic excellence, moral virtue, and reverence for God’s design for family and community.
The Trivium in Action
True education shapes both the heart and the mind. At Porter Hill Academy of Arts and Sciences, our online courses embody this conviction, offering structure with the flexibility to honor the natural rhythms of home life for families devoted to classical Christian formation.
