The best part of San Tan Charter is seeing the legacy families who have been there since kindergarten. The worst part of San Tan charter is the teaching in the classes, some teachers teach face-to-face while some just sit at their desk and give out online work. I would love to see change in how teachers teach.

The teachers rely on crowd funding for resources...

I will say there are some nice elective options and a good variety for a school of this size. However, they let students change their own schedules for roughly two wee...

My children have never felt so supported or encouraged at school. They have grown academically and individually. I highly recommend this school!
