Our experienced coaches not only emphasize skill development, but also teamwork and sportsmanship. Teams compete against other small high schools in the state of Arizona and our teams have gone on to regional and state tournaments. In recent years, the School has fielded teams in basketball, flag football, soccer, and volleyball and, given our small size, our interscholastic teams can accommodate all interested athletes. Consequently, every weekday afternoon time is set side for students to participate in a team sport or a physical activity. We believe daily physical exercise is essential for healthy adolescent development. Academic tables: which give students needing more structure and assistance an evening study hall monitored by faculty. Our physical activities take advantage of our unique location and include outdoor pursuits such as hiking, mountain biking, and a high ropes course. Sports/physical activities: (required) which ensure the physical health and well-being of every student. Clubs and student activities: which offer students the opportunity to discover new interests, to expand on their passions, and to develop leadership skills. Much of the seminar curriculum is based on recommendations from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (). Seminar series: which affords each grade level a weekly seminar focused on life skills and health and human development. The morning period: which provides a time, between the first and second class periods, for extra help (required or voluntary), a meeting with the college counselor or a college representative, quiet study, and a healthy snack.
Three extended class periods per day: which allow for greater student and teacher focus permit our highly trained faculty to utilize several different activities in order to meet the learning needs of each student and further deeper and more lasting learning results and a subsequent growth in self-confidence. Our daily schedule is intentionally designed and deliberately structured to meet the needs of a diversity of learning styles, while also attending to the social and emotional, as well as the physical, growth of our students as they prepare for college and life. These values are integrated into every aspect of our school culture and are reinforced each day beginning with morning meeting, a community gathering. Our entire program, including behavioral expectations, is based on the five essential core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, compassion, and health and safety.
