General School Information
The educational philosophy at Highland is based upon the fact that children are naturally inquisitive and excited by learning. The school’s goal is to keep that inquisitiveness alive. Highland’s curriculum is aligned with the Arizona College and Career Ready Standards and includes integrated, thematic units that often use hands-on, innovative activities and projects designed to give students practice in applying the Arizona educational standards while strengthening their twentieth-century skills of creativity, collaboration, and communication.
