Purple Star School

Arizona Charter Academy is proudly designated as a “Purple Star School” with the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) and Arizona Purple Star Schools (AZPSS). Purple Star Schools specialize in supporting military-connected children as they relocate to new schools due to a parent’s change in duty station.

We support military-connected children and families by:

  • Introducing Military Welcome Ambassador Team that helps introduce new military families and supports existing families
  • Providing links to events that highlight activities featuring military students, families, and veterans
  • Designating a resource board for students and military families with postings of community and school-wide events, and special interest activities that highlight and support military families
  • Hosting school-wide military appreciation events celebrating our military families, including Patriot Day, Veterans Day, and Month of the Military Child
  • Facilitating regular support groups for students of active military parents/guardian
  • Providing priority status in the school’s enrollment process for children of active-duty families
