All Students Can Succeed
Phoenix was founded on the unwavering belief that all students can succeed. Our students often didn’t “fit the mold” of their previous schools. At Phoenix we strive to break that mold, providing a unique and revolutionary educational experience. In order for all students to succeed, we believe in maintaining high expectations, providing a holistic system of supports, affirming our students’ identities, and differentiating for each student’s unique needs and gifts.
Our Values
Each Phoenix campus is shaped by the values of the students, families, and staff who are compose it. While each community is unique, shared themes run throughout: hard work and resilience, honest and at times difficult conversations, accountability for one’s actions, the value of second chances, and a belief in the inherent worth of every individual. These values come to life in intentionally small school settings where belonging is central.
