Our Advantage:

Mission:
Our mission is to prepare students to be:
• Academically successful
• Capable of transferring knowledge and skills to new challenges
• Confident in their ability to succeed
Delivering on this goal requires a new approach to education. We teach all of the traditional subject matter, but how we deliver it to the students is completely unique. We have integrated subject matter so that students can begin to understand how it applies to everyday life and thus be better equipped for the challenges that lay before them.
Educational Approach:
Children’s educational needs change as they grow from dependent learners, in their early years, to independent learners in older grades. Studies have shown that children who participate in well-structured preschools are better prepared, both socially and psychologically, for kindergarten and the grades that follow.
At Camelback Desert School, we expertly combine academic learning experiences and structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. We engage children in a variety of ways that help them discover, explore and learn to their fullest potential.
Camelback challenges students to understand how any subject or issue is a rich tapestry of patterns and relationships, and that everything is connected. Our teachers strive to make relevance an essential part of every lesson.
