Preparing Our Students For A Global Society
                      A Passport To The Future

Squaw Peak Traditional Academy is eager to provide children with an opportunity to learn a foreign language as a part of its curriculum. Young children have a unique window of opportunity early in life to develop the parts of the brain used for acquiring language. We welcome you to learn more about our school and this unique opportunity for your child.

                       Becoming A Global Learner

                                 50/50 Model
Students spend 50% of their day learning content in English and 50% of their day learning content in Spanish.

A Traditional Academy
As a traditional academy we offer a smaller campus environment with an accelerated curriculum that emphasizes core subjects such as reading, writing and math.  Beginning in kindergarten, students also participate in Physical Education, Technology, Music, Art, and Library.  Students can be viewed working at their own personal desks, and in partnerships or teams. Students wear uniforms to limit outside distractions, to build a sense of community, and to facilitate the learning process.
