Located just north of Chandler Fashion Center, the academy serves more than 550 students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. It’s part of the Kyrene School District, which covers the southern region of metro Phoenix.
Here, the motto is “citizens, scholars, and friends.” And the academy lives up to its mission of academic excellence, with honors as an A+ School of Excellence in Arizona and being deemed a National Blue Ribbon School.
