Individualized Learning Matters at San Tan Charter School

One way that San Tan Charter School embraces individualized learning is by supporting and believing in the benefits that physical exercise can have on a student’s academic day.

There are numerous initiatives and research studies that support and encourage physical activity throughout the school day.

Along with high expectations for academics, we balance physical activity and creative outlets as vital components to enhancing classroom success. This drives us to offer daily PE, and a weekly rotation of music and art.

  • A safe, nurturing learning environment for your child

  • Proactive and positive attention to individual needs

Physical Education

San Tan Charter School utilizes the Dynamic Physical Education program developed by Robert Pangrazzi from Arizona State. It is one of the most utilized curriculums in schools today.

This program was selected to provide a comprehensive curriculum that emphasizes fitness and healthy lifestyles. This class incorporates some of the many ways to stay active and healthy. Team sports such as baseball, football, soccer, volleyball, badminton, and more are incorporated. Strength training, flexibility, and cardiovascular improvement are also emphasized. Quarterly Fitness Assessments are administered to show the yearly progress.

Students learn to trust their initiative and abilities, take responsibility for their work, and become self-motivated learners. By gaining respect for themselves, others, and the environment, children develop the desire and ability to continue learning throughout their lives.

Athletic Clubs and Team Sports

Learning Communities exist throughout the San Tan experience.  A learning community is a group of students who take a common set of courses together or share a common experience around their academics.

Students develop a deeper understanding of the course’s subject matter while they build relationships and learn together, inside and outside the classroom. Community partnerships and service learning allow students to put learning into practice in real-world situations.

San Tan Charter School provides opportunities within Athletic Clubs and Team Sports. Our San Tan Roadrunner teams are recognized as State Champions across numerous Division 1, Division 2, and Open Division sports.

Students interested in sharing their athletic skills with our San Tan Charter School community are invited to check out our Team Sports and Athletic Clubs.
