As a public charter school in the Espiritu family of schools, NFL YET College Prep Academy serves more than 250 students in seventh through twelfth grades in the South Mountain neighborhood of Phoenix.
In a partnership with the National Football League (NFL), the school creates a unique learning environment, dubbed a Youth Education Town (YET), where students can “acquire foundational knowledge, seek truth, and become international servant leaders committed to changing the world.”
Here, like at other Espiritu schools, the curriculum integrates the Trivium philosophy of education, which follows a classical approach to learning founded in grammar (discovering facts), formal logic (understanding why), and rhetoric (applying how). Students are encouraged to think critically and invite discussion, whether they’re engaging in lessons in math, science, language arts, history, social studies, or electives in the classics.
Outside of the classroom, students can also thrive in a number of activities including weightlifting, MEChA Club, robotics, Key Club, the International Student Travel Association, yearbook, and the Student Board of Service. Through the Arizona Interscholastic Association and the Canyon Athletic Association, more athletic students can build school spirit on teams for a number of sports, from football and basketball to volleyball and soccer, among many others.
With a focus on achievement, NFL YET helps students keep their eyes on the future.

Overall a pretty good school yet the math classes are very hard to excel in due to the teacher teaching way to fast with no explanation. The lunch is either a hit or a miss, some days it is not even worth staying in line, we need to have a free lunch and a paid lunch. Most teachers a really cool and they actually care about your education by constantly telling what things will be useful in the real world.

At NFL YET College Prep Academy, it isn't just a normal high school. It's a school where friends and teachers turn into family.

I like how NFL YET is a small school that knows everyone and is like a family. I think the school should have more opportunities. For instance, AP Honors classes.

I do NOT like this school. I have argued and argued with my brothers' mother to get them out of this school, but she was more focused on convenience than their education. Being an educator myself, I do not feel this school has the leadership/staff nor academics to provide quality education. I'm putt...

Alot of prejudice from students in this school and the authority figures pick favorites.. Removing my kids.. Biggest mistake was putting them in this so called A plus school..

NFL YET is the worst school ever! It's just awful. I would suggest putting your children elsewhere. I had my daughter at that school since kindergarten and it was just a terrible experience for her. The principal along with other teachers like to pick favorites and if you aren't and that list then y...
