Explore Our Premier Programs
AJUSD GenTech STEM (All Elementary Schools)
For curious minds who love to explore, experiment, and solve real-world problems. Students engage in science, technology, engineering, and math through hands-on projects that spark innovation and critical thinking.
While GenTech STEM is offered across the board, Perata Trail Elementary is our STEM-focused school, where students explore STEM more rigorously throughout the course of their learning journeys.
Dual Language Immersion (Four Peaks Elementary)
For students who want to become bilingual and globally aware, our Spanish-English Dual Language program develops fluency, academic excellence, and cultural understanding — opening doors to global citizenship.
The Classical Academy at Superstition Mountain
For families seeking a traditional, content-rich education in the liberal arts and sciences. Students dive into classic literature, Latin, history, and foundational math in a structured, high-expectation environment that fosters deep thinking, character development, and future-focused tech experiences.
Leadership Program (Desert Vista Elementary)
For students ready to grow as bold, compassionate leaders. Through service learning, public speaking, and character-building activities, students build confidence, communication skills, and a sense of purpose.
A3-U (Apache Junction High School)
For students who want to put their learning to work. A3-U connects classroom subjects through hands-on engineering and real-world challenges. Students collaborate, develop leadership skills, and learn to plan, test, and present their ideas with confidence.
College & Career Exploration (Cactus Canyon Junior High and Apache Junction High School)
For students who want to explore their futures, our junior high and high school programs offer Career & Technical Education (CTE), dual enrollment, and AP courses that prepare students for college, careers, and life after graduation.
Reimagining Learning (Peralta Trail Elementary, Cactus Canyon Junior High, and Apache Junction High School)
For students who thrive when learning connects to something real. At Peralta Trail, students in grades 3–5 explore hands-on Innovation Studios and have more choice in their learning. Cactus Canyon’s reimagined sixth-grade experience builds confidence, organization, and connections across subjects. At AJHS, A3-U brings learning to life through engineering, real-world challenges, and leadership.
AJUSD FLEX (Across AJUSD Campuses)
For families using ESA funds who want more flexibility without losing their connection to a school community. AJUSD FLEX lets students participate in individual classes, enrichment, early learning, or athletics while continuing their education at home or elsewhere. Families can choose opportunities that fit their child’s interests and schedule, with support from AJUSD teachers and meaningful connections with peers.
