Anasazi's structure and CBS program has let him take this to a much higher level....He studies like a college student, independently, and realizes his responsibilities to the community.

My boys attended Anasazi for 2 years.The office staff is friendly, as is the Principal. But the Principal does let Special ED fall through the cracks, and not return phone calls or repeated letters requesting help. The school is in a nice area and laid out beautifully, but my kids were very unhappy

I pulled them out to return them to the Elementary school they were in previously because of the Principals lack of attentiveness. All looks well on the outside, not so great once your there!

I agree with the comments of January 2007. Information on programs, schedule and curriculum to new parents is very poor. I was particularly disappointed that the most highly valued (advanced academic) programs are not even discussed. It creates a very closed and 'special treatment' environment. The
