  • Experience – a stimulating learning environment designed to invite exploration and discovery while supporting academic excellence.
  • Be Inspired – to develop a lifelong love of learning.
  • Create – the building blocks for a promising future of unlimited possibility.
  • Be Empowered – to learn by doing, build confidence, self-awareness and self reliance.

The charter is a contract with the State of Arizona to provide a free, state-funded public education to students in kindergarten through 8th grade.  Children who will be five years old before September 1 may enroll in the kindergarten. The kindergarten is a half day program, extended day is available at the parent’s expense.

The Montessori classroom is a stimulating learning environment consciously prepared to invite exploration and discovery. Children work independently, or in small groups. Self-directed hands-on learning is encouraged. The Montessori classroom is a multi-age learning environment. Grades 1-3 are in the lower elementary class, grades 4-6 are in upper elementary, and grades 7-8 are in middle school.  The Montessori elementary curriculum builds upon the independence established in the preschool years. It is a child-directed, project oriented, creative and inspiring learning environment.

The middle school offers a challenging academic curriculum in a holistic learning environment which includes classroom work and special projects.  These special projects offer hands-on learning and real-life skills in the classroom, out-of-doors and in the community.

Extended care before and after school, special after school classes, and a summer program are offered at our River Road campus only.
