The Pardes team traded in meetings for the river last week and made some unforgettable memories!

We spent the day tubing down the Salt River, enjoying the Arizona sunshine—and even spotted wild horses along the way! It was the perfect opportunity to relax, connect, and celebrate the incredible work of our team this year.

Our Kindergarten End-of-Year Showcase was full of smiles, confidence, and so much growth!

Students proudly shared their “glows and grows,” reflecting on how far they’ve come this year. It was a joy to see their excitement and hear their voices as they celebrated their learning journey.

Thank you to our families for joining us and supporting our youngest learners every step of the way. We are so proud of these little Panthers!

Our 8th graders capped off their academic year by holding thier Capstone Project Showcase. What a powerful celebration of project-based learning in action!

Students proudly presented projects that combined their research skills with meaningful service, demonstrating how project-based learning can create real impact beyond the classroom. From inquiry to implementation, they showcased not only what they’ve learned—but how they’re making a difference.

One particular project, created by one of our 8th graders, Maverick, raised $700 for Phoenix Children's Hospital! At the showcase, a representative from PCH was on hand for the check presentation.

Thank you to all the parents who joined us to experience this learning firsthand. Your support helps bring these moments to life!

Our first graders wrapped up the school year by taking us on an unforgettable journey through history at their American Adventures play! Each student chose a historical figure, brought them to life on stage, and shared what they’ve been learning in their classroom history unit. From inspiring leaders to trailblazing pioneers, their hard work, creativity, and confidence truly shined. We’re so proud of these young historians!

Audiences and critics agree - this year’s production of James and the Giant Peach was a Broadway-worthy adventure packed with unforgettable performances, giant laughs, and heartwarming moments. The New York Times called it "A triumphant blend of charm, chaos, and pure imagination."

Standing ovations all around for our incredible cast and crew!
