With the landmark South Mountain as a backdrop, South Pointe Elementary School serves students in full-day kindergarten through fifth grade in the South Phoenix area, just across the street from Hermoso Park.
At this tuition-free public charter school, the faculty teach children to make good choices, accept responsibility, give respect, honor integrity, and to collaborate with others. As such, the curriculum here is aligned with Arizona’s Common Core Standards and integrates project-based learning and teaching methods.
Among the school’s notable programs are English language acquisition services for any students who speak a foreign language. Additionally, South Pointe fosters a more communal culture among students with a House System where students are assigned to house teams for an array of friendly competitions, whether in kickball, flag football, tug of war, or other feats.
As for logistics and peace of mind, parents and caregivers can rest easier knowing South Pointe also offers free breakfast, lunch, and dinner served daily in addition to a free after-school program and fully provided transportation.
Sitting only 10 minutes away from the school is South Mountain Park and Preserve, where you just might find the best views in all of Phoenix—perfect for an after-school field trip and geography lesson.
