ACA began in 2001 and has grown significantly throughout the years with the same goal in mind: To build future leaders who will have a positive impact on their community.
ACA is an A+ School of Excellence and a Title 1 school. At ACA we know you’re the kind of parent that wants the best for your child. We know there are many options when it comes to schools and it can be frustrating to know which school will meet your child’s needs. At Arizona Charter Academy our goal is to meet your child where they are at today and grow them from there. ACA has been building greatness within our students for the last 20 years.
