Introducing San Tan Charter School’s New Signal Butte Campus!
We’re excited to introduce the upcoming Signal Butte Campus, opening July 2026. This new campus will continue San Tan Charter School’s tradition of providing a nurturing, individualized, and rigorous education, tailored to meet the needs of our diverse student community.
Innovative Academic Pathways for K-8 Students
San Tan Charter School’s K-8 program offers three distinct academic pathways, empowering students to excel through the approach that best fits their learning style and goals:
- Gifted Program – Designed for students who qualify as gifted through the CogAT Test, providing enhanced academic challenges and opportunities for deep exploration.
- Mainstream Program – Built on Arizona State Standards, incorporating Wonders (Literacy) and Savvas (Mathematics) curricula, with differentiated instruction to engage every learner.
- Montessori Program – Offers hands-on, student-led learning for K-8, blending academic rigor with Montessori principles that foster independence, creativity, and social responsibility.
Montessori Preschool
San Tan Montessori’s Private Preschool is founded on the wisdom of Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy and work with children. While incorporating Love and Logic’s® nine essential skills, the Montessori peace table, and music, we further her vision of “Education for Peace.”
Our peaceful and happy prepared environments are alive with Music and Movement through the support of our thriving Music Together™ program.
The materials facilitate learning in a hierarchy from simple to complex and concrete to abstract. Teachers and assistants in each classroom carefully and beautifully orchestrate student’s optimal development through independent, small and large group learning opportunities.
A Holistic Approach to Education
At San Tan Charter School, education goes beyond academics. We believe that students thrive when they feel valued, understood, and supported. Our teaching strategies are tailored to each child’s needs, using flexible seating, individualized goals, and respect for all learning styles (visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinesthetic). We aim to cultivate not only intellectual growth but also social-emotional resilience, empathy, and interpersonal skills that prepare students for the future.
Measuring Success and Growth
Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated through standards-based grading (K-4), traditional grading (5-8), and regular assessments like the NWEA MAP Growth test, which tracks both academic achievement and growth. With these tools, we ensure each student reaches their highest potential.
Discover the San Tan Difference
Our unique blend of personalized learning, collaborative teaching, and community spirit sets San Tan Charter School apart. We foster an environment where critical thinking, creativity, and a love of learning flourish. Join us at the Meridian Campus to be a part of this exceptional journey.
