Admissions

Welcome To Pusch Ridge Christian Academy!

PRCA is a community of 880 students, DK-12, in Tucson, Arizona. We partner with families seeking a faith-based education, supporting students in discovering their unique, God-given purpose and gifts.

We are still accepting applications for the 2022 – 2023 school year for Kindergarten and 1st grade at our dual-language South campus. 

Applications for the 2023-2024 school year are open for Upper School (grades 6-12), Grammar School (grades DK-5) and PRCA South (grades K-2).
When applying, please ensure you select the correct year and campus location.
Please note that the application process is on hold for grades 8, 9, 10, & 12 next year, as they are completely full and waitlisted.

Our Admissions Process

  • Inquire Online - This online form tells us about your child and why you are interested in PRCA, along with your desired next step in pursuing admission.
  • Come for a Campus Tour - We invite you to schedule an appointment with an Admissions representative for a campus tour, and if interested, discuss financial aid and scholarship options. 
    • Grammar Campus - Tuesday mornings & by appointment: contact admissions@prcak12.org

  • Testing ($150 fee) - All students entering grades 6-12 must email Admissions to obtain a testing link and register for an on-campus online assessment test. 
  • Family Interview - This is the final step for applicants in good standing and with completed files.
Qualified students remaining in the wait pool in August may have an opportunity to enroll during the school year should an opening occur.
