Have you supported our Sun Devils yet? Students at ASU Prep South Phoenix elementary love having smaller classrooms that allow them to connect better with their peers. Your donation toward our tax credit campaign equips students with the resources they need to succeed!<\/p>\n

Check out our donation page<\/a> for more information on how you can support our Sun Devils. Donations in Arizona may be eligible for a tax credit! If you haven’t done your 2025 taxes yet, you can still count your donation toward them if you donate by April 15. Or, if you have already filed your 2025 taxes, this donation can be counted toward your 2026 filing since it was made after January 1! When you donate, if you are receiving a refund from the state – your donation amount is added to the refund! Or, if you owe the state, your donation is subtracted from what you owe. It’s a WIN WIN for our schools.<\/p>\n

Take a look at this video<\/strong><\/a> from our students explaining what a tax credit donation would mean for them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Family Choice Day, a flexible, hybrid scheduling option available to students enrolled at our Phoenix, South Phoenix, Pilgrim Rest, and Polytechnic campuses in Arizona. This innovative program allows families to choose how and where their children learn on Fridays, creating a more dynamic and relevant educational experience. Families can adjust their enrollment choices quarterly, ensuring the program aligns with their evolving needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Flexible learning options<\/h2>\n<h3><b>In-person learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students have the option to attend half-day in-person classes at an ASU Prep campus or engage in special in-person programming at an ASU campus. On-campus offerings include academic intervention, enrichment programs, special field trips, and on-site internships, all designed to provide hands-on, enriching experiences that support learners\u2019 growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>At-home learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who prefer a home-based learning environment, students can complete a \u201cFriday Playlist\u201d that includes both online learning and offline\u00a0 learning opportunities. Options include family field trips, out-of-school enrichment programs, internships at approved sites, digital electives, coursework\u00a0 \u201cmust-dos,\u201d as well \u201cmay-do\u201d suggestions, such as journaling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The background of Family Choice Day<\/h2>\n<p>The concept of a flexible fifth day originated at our ASU Prep Casa Grande campus, where a four-day school week has been in place for many years. The hybrid program allowed an extra day for students to engage in jobs, internships, and academic support activities. The success of this model was mirrored at the South Phoenix high school campus last year, leading to the decision to expand the program across more campuses.<\/p>\n<p>Surveys of families and teachers highlighted a strong preference for a flexible Friday, enabling the program to align with family needs while maintaining academic rigor. This flexibility has proved beneficial, reducing burnout and increasing student engagement and success.<\/p>\n<h2>The benefits of Family Choice Day<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Megan Hanley, Executive Director of School Design, notes, \u201cFamily Choice Day gives families the choice and flexibility for what works best for them.\u201d This could mean offering students a chance to recharge and engage in activities that spark their interests, providing valuable family time, or enabling them to pursue work opportunities and explore new passions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hybrid learning model of Family Choice Day offers numerous advantages, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family flexibility: Families can tailor their student\u2019s learning experience to best suit their needs, whether it\u2019s a day of fun learning at school or a relaxed learning day at home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student engagement: By providing a break from the traditional school week, students remain excited and engaged, both academically and in non-academic activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personal growth: Students are encouraged to explore interests outside the standard curriculum, fostering creativity and personal development.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staff collaboration: Teachers have the opportunity to lead classes in areas they are passionate about, enhancing the educational experience for both students and educators.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-world preparation: Students become familiar with blended learning environments found in college classes and modern workplaces.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Unique offerings across campuses<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s going so well,\u201d shares Hanley. \u201cEach school site is offering such a unique program. Classes are being led by all kinds of staff members, including our School Resource Officer at Downtown Phoenix, as well as great community partners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the unique programs and activities offered at each campus:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Polytechnic STEM Academy: Drones, robotics, pi\u00f1ata-making and other crafts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Polytechnic High School: Collaborations with ASU on robotics, cooking classes and more.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Pilgrim Rest: Fashion program collaborations and leadership coding initiatives.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep Downtown Phoenix: Mindfulness sessions, fitness programs and poetic collaborations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ASU Prep South Phoenix: Virtual reality coding, soccer skills development and aquarium projects.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A community effort<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are so appreciative of our entire staff throughout the Network,\u201d says Hanley. \u201cWorking through all of the processes and changes is only possible if our staff see the possibilities, understand the goal, and exhibit perseverance through change. We are also so grateful to our families who have handled the change so well and are excited about the possibilities both at home and at school.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family Choice Day is more than just a schedule change\u2014it\u2019s a gateway to unlimited possibilities in learning and personal growth. We are thrilled to see our students thrive in this flexible, innovative environment.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introducing Family Choice Day ASU Prep is proud to

rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASU Prep South Phoenix<\/a>, a groundbreaking approach to sports is taking the field\u2014or rather, the screen. Under the guidance of Coach Jose Rosario, an English Language Arts teacher with a passion for gaming, the school’s eSports team, having first conquered the state tournament, advanced to the national playoffs, where they competed against schools from across the country and Canada in the action-packed video game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their inaugural year, the two ASU Prep South Phoenix eSports teams showcased their skills and strategic prowess during a remarkable run. The Sea Monsters secured a commendable 3rd place out of 25 teams in the state tournament, while the Daredevils captured 15th. The momentum did not stop at the state level, as the Sea Monsters continued their competitive streak into the national tournament, achieving an impressive ranking of 25th out of 133 participating teams, while the Daredevils placed 52nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beyond-the-game-the-benefits-of-esports\">Beyond the game: The benefits of eSports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What is eSports? It\u2019s where video gaming meets competitive sports and it has become increasingly popular in the educational sphere. Platforms like PLAYvs offer schools the tools to build, manage, and compete with eSports teams across the country, tracking stats and scheduling video game matches with ease. It\u2019s within this digital coliseum that ASU Prep South Phoenix\u2019s team has thrived, backed by the Canyon Athletic Association (CAA), which champions the legitimacy of eSports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CAA highlights several benefits of eSports, from fostering social skills and strategic thinking to encouraging students to manage both triumphs and defeats. \u201cThey learn to lose with grace and to be humble when they win. To coach one another, help others and learn from them,\u201d says Coach Rosario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, involvement in eSports can lead to improved attendance, academic performance, and increased interest in STEM careers. This aligns with broader trends showing that students engaged in extracurricular activities often excel in various aspects of their academic and personal lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leadership-and-learning-through-esports\">Leadership and learning through eSports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rosario\u2019s team, comprising mostly middle schoolers, shows immense potential. They\u2019re formidable opponents, despite being some of the youngest competitors in the arena. Coach Rosario describes the team as \u201ca force to be reckoned with\u2026with so much potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One young standout is Francisco de la Cruz, a 7th grader who embodies the spirit of the team, blending competition with camaraderie. “I like having fun with friends and peers, helping others out, learning new techniques,” he shares, capturing the essence of what makes eSports at ASU Prep South Phoenix so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His involvement in the team has been transformative, not just in honing his gaming skills but also in personal growth. “It\u2019s making me better because I\u2019ve made more friends and I\u2019m not so shy anymore,” Francisco reflects on how the team has contributed to his confidence and social circle, opening him up to new friendships and experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Rosario praises Francisco\u2019s growth. “I’ve seen him blossom. When our team is facing a loss or a challenge, Francisco tries to look at the positive side of things. He’s a role model for our kids,” says Rosario. “He’s had a great impact not only on the students on our team but also some of the other kids on campus. That\u2019s a beautiful thing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These positive effects extend to the whole team’s culture. At the “Game On! ASU Prep community event,” the team took it to another level by hosting a gaming booth. There, they showcased their skills, shared their passion, and motivated the next wave of young gamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spirit of competition continues, with plans to face off in a tournament against a school in Tucson and more game play over the summer. The virtual nature of eSports allows for continuous off-season play, offering endless opportunities for growth and camaraderie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-ahead\">Looking ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ASU Prep South Phoenix\u2019s eSports team exemplifies how traditional notions of sports and education are evolving. Through strategic gameplay, teamwork, and the guiding principles imparted by Coach Rosario, these young gamers are not only competing; they’re preparing for life’s myriad challenges. The teams\u2019 success and the burgeoning interest in eSports hint at a future where digital arenas are as celebrated as physical ones, proving that sportsmanship and competition know no bounds in the digital age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover more about how <a href=\"https:\/\/asuprep.asu.edu\/prep-academy-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASU Preparatory Academy<\/a> is redefining the educational landscape through innovative programs like eSports.

You\u2019ll want to look for schools with high graduation rates, strong test scores, and rigorous curriculum offerings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But academics isn\u2019t everything. It\u2019s equally important to assess extracurricular activities and opportunities that align with your child’s interests and passions. This can include sports teams, clubs, music or art programs, internships, early college options, and more.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another important factor to consider in a high school is multiculturalism.
