In 2020, God led Pusch Ridge Christian Academy to open a school on Tucson’s Southside, an underserved community with few Christian school options. We answered that call in faith, establishing a school that shapes students to become more like Christ through a classical, covenantal community.
Along the way, God opened an incredible opportunity—to lead the nation in establishing one of the first private Christian schools to offer a Dual-Language Immersion, Classical education. Rooted in the Great Commission: "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19), our South Campus equips students to communicate in Spanish and English, expanding our ability to serve and impact the next generation.
Growing Needs, Growing Vision
- An existing church property of eight acres was purchased, and interior walls were added to transform the church into a school.
- South Campus opened its doors to kindergarten and 1st grade in 2021-2022.
- Thanks to generous partners, seven classrooms have been added.
- Each year a grade is added. As we continue to grow, facilities must be expanded.
Phase 2A: Building for the Future (see online publication below)
The next phase of campus development includes:
- Parking lot pavement: Improving structure, safety, and accessibility.
- Multi-use sports field: Providing space for athletics, community engagement, and events.
- 12 new classrooms: Accommodating the growing student body (most pressing need).
A Light On A Hill
The South Campus has been called a "light on a hill," bringing hope to the community. In only three years, we’ve seen remarkable transformation:
- Local pastors testify to the positive impact on their congregations.
- The mariachi program has become a ministry, blessing the community through music.
- The Tucson Police Department reports a decline in crime around the campus.
This mission is making a difference. But we cannot do it alone. We need your help to continue providing high-quality, Christ-centered education to families in South Tucson.
