Public schools trying to shut down Private schools. Here are the facts.

The Arizona Department of Education issued a press release today setting the record straight on unallowable expenses in the Empowerment Scholarship Account program.

Despite what the media has been circulating, "about 2% of purchases are unallowable expenses and only 0.3% represent fraud or egregious purchases."

"This is far below the rate of misuse at a variety of programs such as Medicaid (7.4%), food stamps (9.3%), and unemployment insurance (14.4%)."

This week our Elementary, Middle and High School students had an incredible time exploring the Biosphere 2! This amazing research facility contains multiple ecosystems—like a rainforest, desert, and even an ocean, all under one roof. This helps scientists study how life on Earth actually works together. They had a fun day of hands-on learning and discovery! 🌎

Yesterday, our students got to dive into the super fun world of paint pouring! Mrs. Deb showed them some awesome techniques and helped them pick the perfect color combos. Of course, a little glitter and a few charms made everything even more special. Safe to say… it was a bright, messy, colorful success! 🎨✨

Our Sparks classroom had an exciting week learning about national monuments! We built the Statue of Liberty, painted her, and discovered the history behind this powerful symbol of freedom. Hands-on learning + lots of creativity = a great week! 🇺🇸🎨🗽

Yesterday and today, our Sparks classroom was buzzing with excitement as the Kinder Prep kiddos from joined us! We crafted hats, had a snowball fight, and learned all about the polar regions of the world ❄️☃️🧊

🎄✨ Middle and high schoolers celebrated the last day before Christmas break in their festive PJs! Cozy, cheerful, and full of holiday spirit!

Today, our LCA students had the sweetest opportunity to visit Parkland Memory Care. They shared the joy of Christmas by singing Christmas songs, handing out cookies, and spending time meeting the residents. It was a beautiful reminder of the joy this season brings when it’s shared with others. Moments like these teach our students the power of kindness, service, and Jesus’s love. ❤️

Some chess and fresh air! A pretty solid way to spend an afternoon. ♟️

Archery for all students Grade 4+. Lots of fun and builds concentration.

Kali, one of our amazing high school students, is teaching in our Sparks class today! 🦁 Mrs. Goodwin our teacher is still in the classroom, as Kali leads the lesson.
