Our Philosophy
Phoenix Charter Academy's mission is to challenge young people in our area with an academically rigorous and individually tailored curriculum. Phoenix scholars will have the support, resources and training needed to succeed academically in high school and college, and become economically secure in their future. Phoenix Charter Academy is named after a mythological figure of strength, healing and renewal.
Phoenix schools challenge resilient, disconnected young people with rigorous academics and relentless supports, so they take ownership of their futures and succeed in high school, college, and as self-sufficient adults.
At Phoenix we do not just accept difference - we celebrate it, support it, and thrive on it for the benefit of our scholars and the communities we serve. We believe difference makes us stronger. Phoenix Charter Academy is an equal opportunity employer and as such, we do not discriminate against any team member or candidate because of race, creed, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, national origin, disability, age, veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, or any other basis protected by federal, state or local law. Phoenix Charter Academy is committed to making any reasonable accommodation necessary to support an individual's employment.

The 2024 summer school program at PCA serves as an opportunity to reteach skills students may have missed and/or not yet demonstrated mastery. Students will work and submit work according to their individual learning plans. Students will be able to focus on completing final units of courses that they are close to demonstrating competence in for the year.
Our summer instructional model is built around the premise students are expected to achieve specific standards and complete specific work, but these can be achieved at varying paces based on the students’ needs and abilities. We focus on individual learning. It’s the bedrock of who we are. While students are expected to engage in mini-lessons and group work, the overwhelming majority of students’ academic days are spent working through individual learning materials.
Our teachers assist students by providing one-on-one support, circulating the space, conferencing with students to discuss academic progress, and facilitating learning.
