How to transfer photos from iMac to iPhone camera roll?

MacOS: Sonoma

iPhone IOS 17.4

Is there a way to move some images in the MacOS Photo App to an iPhone camera roll? Son just bought first iPhone and wanted to move some of his school photos to his camera roll. Probably a couple hundred photos so figured AirDrop must not be the right choice.

NOTE: We are not saving our Mac Photo App images to iCloud

iMac 27″, macOS 14.4

You can only export from the Camera roll to the Mac. But you can sync the Mac's Photos library albums to the iPhone via the Finder. Or copy images to iPhone's Files.

So just to clarify there is no way to move the Mac photos to the camera roll or Photos App of the iPhone?
