Trinity Arch Preparatory School for BoysFeatured
Owner verified

A Christian hybrid small school where boys grow in wisdom, character, and purpose. We partner with Christian homeschooling families to provide an exceptional education for boys ages 10–18. Through small tutorial groups, outstanding male mentors, rigorous academics including dual enrollment opportunities for high school students, daily physical training, and more than 15 expeditions each year, boys develop the confidence, discipline, and leadership needed to flourish. School at Trinity Arch looks different from a traditional classroom. Boys spend their days in small tutorial groups with expert tutors who know them personally, engage in rigorous academics, participate in Socratic discussions, pursue independent "Deep Think" projects, play chess, train physically each day, and explore Arizona through expeditions. Our goal is to cultivate young men who love learning, embrace responsibility, and are prepared to lead lives of faith, service, and purpose. Every family is different. We offer flexible scheduling options and work alongside parents to design a program that complements their homeschooling journey. Many families qualify for significant scholarship assistance, making a Trinity Arch education more affordable than they might expect. We intentionally limit enrollment so every boy is truly known, challenged, and encouraged. If you're looking for a Christ-centered community where your son can flourish academically, physically, socially, and spiritually, we'd love to meet your family.

Classical, traditional or hybrid?

  • Traditional (Desert Christian, Kingdom Grace): five days on campus, athletics and activities.
  • Classical (Pusch Ridge, Veritas): Latin, logic, rhetoric and great books; Veritas uses a hybrid schedule with home days.
  • Microschool (Lopez Academy): small mixed-age groups and a practical, modern focus.

Before enrolling, ask each school for its high school graduation requirements, dual-enrollment partners (see dual enrollment in Arizona) and accreditation status (what accreditation means).

Using an Arizona ESA in Tucson

An Arizona ESA can pay tuition at private Christian schools that work with the program, but it usually won't cover the full cost. Ask each school how ESA payments are processed and what you'll owe. Read the Arizona ESA guide and the official ADE ESA page.
