Our experience with the school was far less than satisfactory. We left last year along with most of the teachers and many (or most?) of the students. Ask yourself (and the owner when you contact them) why there are only 6-7 kids in a class. You owe it to yourself to gather many opinions on this school.

While no school is for every child, this would be a great choice if you are interested in curriculum, overall education, safety and happiness of your child.

Desert Academy, in my opinion, is the very best school in Anthem and probably within a 25 mile radius or more. My son has been enrolled for 4 years. He is currently in the 1st grade. My daughter started Preschool in September of 06. The education is top notch. I am always amazed on how far ahead

The academic program is unmatched by any of the other schools in the area. Extra curricular activities include Science Club and Chess Club. Small class sizes and uniforms are a plus! My oldest child has been at the school for 3 years, and each one of her teachers have been highly skilled. Warm, nurturing

This school is outstanding. It follows the Core Knowledge Curriculum, has small class sizes and has very high standards for academics.
