About Our Campus

Our Phoenix South campus is a Title I School, meaning it serves a high percentage of students from low-income families. Through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Title I schools qualify for additional government funds and support to help ensure all children have the opportunity to succeed. Teachers are drawn to Title I schools for various reasons, including the desire to make a difference for high-needs students, give back to their communities, or be inspired by influential educators.
