Non-sports programs include opportunities in drama, music, STEM programs (science technology engineering and math), and the National Honors Society.

Dream City Christian (previouslyJoy Christian) was an incredible school, until Turning Point Academy came in. Political agendas should not be part of schools. Turning Point has an extremely bad reputation and it was extremely disappointing to see them align with the school. They give extremely short notice (same day) when they have Turning Point speakers, which I don't want my child attending.

We are completing 3 years at Dream City Christian and love it. The small class size gives it a family-like atmosphere. The teachers are amazing and speak life and the love of Christ into the children. They have specials all throughout the week that my son loves. Their STEM program is amazing and another favorite of the kids. They welcome parental involvement and volunteering. We enjoy the events and sports programs they offer for all ages. We are excited to have found a school to plant roots in where my children can grow in from kinder through high school.

My Daughter is in the infant room at the preschool. Her teachers are all so nice and caring. They even take the time to do crafts with the babies! Having her here at DCC has made returning to work easier on me. I would highly recommend considering DCC over any other school in the Phoenix valley.

This terrible school is stealing money from the public schools and is teaching kids to hate themselves and others and forcing ideals on children who should just be allow to be a kid

We have had the most wonderful experience at Dram City Christian. The teachers and staff are so caring and loving. My children LOVE their teachers and friends and look forward to attending school each day. We absolutely LOVE the small class sizes. The focus of a Biblical worldview is so encouraging...
