Our Program

At Pioneer Preparatory School, we offer a strong Core Knowledge curriculum which compliments Arizona’s Academic Standards and the national Common Core Standards. This curriculum is integrated with and supported by the Core Knowledge Language Arts program grades K–3, EngageNY Mathematics, Step Up to Writing, and Pearson Social Studies, Scott Foresman Science, Compass Learning, and many more supplemental programs to ensure the very best quality of education for our students.

NOTICE: It is important to inform you of some significant changes to Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the promotion and retention of third-grade students. The newly revised law states that a student shall not be promoted from the 3rd grade if the student obtains a score on the AZ Merit reading test that demonstrates he or she is reading far below the 3rd-grade level.

Academics

In order to plan our academic year purposefully, and prepare our students for the increased rigors of both the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and college and career expectations, Pioneer Preparatory School, with the assistance of the Arizona Charter Schools Association, has developed Essential Learning Outcomes (ELOs) for each grade level in both language arts and mathematics. Our ELOs are based on endurance, readiness, and relevancy for the next grade level—ensuring our students will be prepared for what lies next for them in their academic careers. View our ELOs for each grade level.

Kid-Friendly Standards provide the opportunity to view Common Core standards in Language Arts and Math in terms that kids can understand. View the standards.
