New Classes at PC!
Robotics
Our teams have already built two challenges in less than two months and created the code for it to move! Phoenix Christian will be competing in the VEX robotics challenge this year and the BEST robotics challenge in New Mexico the first part of November. September 22nd, the specifications for the new challenge were released and we will be competing for an opportunity to go to nationals in December in Dallas, Texas. Check out this video to better understand our challenge this year for BEST! https://youtu.be/O-pIBGiMVz4

Computer Science and Coding
In Introduction to Computer Science and Coding, we learn about how computers and networks represent and communicate information. We also learn the basics of making and controlling applications via a programming language.
Debate and Spiritual Formation
We are starting out in building our theology about how the Fall has impacted our desires and the way we think. This will make us aware of the need for the Holy Spirit’s illumination and renewal and will shed insight into the nature of unbelief. From here we will explore the most impactful debates that took place in church history, so that we are better grounded in our purpose for debate: the defense of the truth that is within us.
The Spiritual Formation class is structured much like a discipleship group. We pray for each other and study the Word together. We’ve covered topics ranging from the personhood of the Holy Spirit, the Divinity of Christ, the reality of spiritual warfare, and other topics! It’s been a very intimate and enjoyable time together in the Lord.

Sign Language
Phoenix Christian is excited to expand the foreign language department and is now offering American Sign Language, ASL, as a 2nd language. This year the first level is offered, next year we will offer level one and two. This year the level one students are working on fluency, speed, and recognition of ASL. The class is full of freshmen all the way up to seniors who are eager to learn a new way to communicate with the hearing impaired community! The students will experience interactions inside and outside the classroom with activities and field trips with local hearing impaired groups in our community.
