K-12 Curriculum

ASU Prep’s K–12 curriculum offers personalized learning environments that meet the needs of all learners and prepare them for college, careers and life.

Student-centered learning environments help students strengthen executive functioning skills, collaborate in small and large groups and build independence. Personalized learning also allows students to revisit standards they may have missed, ensuring a strong academic foundation.

Every ASU Prep K–12 course provides opportunities for students to receive the level of challenge that fits their goals.

College-prep and honors-level assignments are built into each class. Teachers utilize rubrics to help foster student agency and expectations of excellence in work submitted, and every student has an opportunity to earn a weighted grade. Students are encouraged to stretch their learning, demonstrate excellence and prepare for advanced academic success with college-level assignments—all while meeting Arizona standards.

ASU is committed and has partnered with ASU Prep to bring college-level courses to our high school students. While in high school, ASU Prep students can take two to four college-level courses per year with tuition paid by ASU Prep. Our students can graduate with at least 48 tuition-free ASU credits, though some take more. Two options are available:

1. Universal Learning®️ Courses: College-level courses where students decide at the end whether they would like to transcript the course for ASU academic credit.
2. Concurrent Courses: Students can take any ASU course in the course catalog, with the final grade automatically reflected as ASU academic credit.

Students will work with their counselor to create an academic plan to make the most of these opportunities
