SPARK School within Kyrene de las Manitas Elementary School breaks out of the constraints imposed by the standard one-teacher, one-classroom model by combining innovations in learning environments, teaching methods and staffing.

The Creighton Academy serves about 300 students in grades K–6. Every student is a member of a covey: a multi-age group of 55–60 students.

Students at Whittier Elementary School join multi-age learning communities called “houses.” Each house includes about 85 students in grades 4-6 and is guided by an educator team.

Westwood High School supports students with dedicated Success Teams for ninth graders. Each team comprises three educators: an algebra teacher, a biology teacher and an English teacher — one of whom serves as a lead for the team.

Riverview High School serves students in grades 7 through 12. Many of these students have left their assigned district schools due to disciplinary reasons. Two teams of educators use technology to scale deeper and personalized learning for multi-age cohorts of students.

The team at ASU Prep Poly: Spark Institute deepens and personalizes learning for 7th and 8th graders through problem-based approaches and collaborative learning structures.

The 3rd-grade team at Stevenson Elementary School leverages inquiry learning approaches to ignite students’ curiosity and build their agency.

Sousa Elementary School’s multi-age first and second grades team deepens and personalizes learning through project-based learning, inquiry approaches and Explore Factory.
