Foothills Academy

Foothills Academy was established in 1993 as a coeducational college preparatory school. It became a "first wave" charter school following charter legislation in 1995. It remains one of the very few free-standing charter schools in the state and has maintained its college preparatory mission and its reputation to this day. FA now serves grades K-12 with a K-6 campus and a 7-12 campus. There is an online school (Foothills Academy Connected) serving grades 7-12. Involvement is part of the learning process for Foothills Academy students. This process includes strong advisement and individualized attention to student's college and career goals. At a time when charter school operators are forming charter chains, Foothills Academy continues to provide a family run, locally focused, stand-alone college preparatory experience, serving students in N. Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Desert Hills, N. Phoenix, and Anthem. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ACADEMICS CLICK ON THE APPROPRIATE SCHOOL: High School, Middle School, Elementary School, Online School.
