Tuition-free elementary charter school in Phoenix

A foundation for learning and character

Milestones combines high academic standards with a focus on character and the whole child. Small classes and individualized instruction help teachers support children as they build foundational skills.

A campus tour is a chance to ask about your child’s grade, classroom routines and how teachers communicate with families. Meet our elementary teachers.

What do elementary students learn?

Students receive daily instruction in reading, language, writing and mathematics. Science and social studies connect with math and language arts. Teaching follows Arizona grade-level academic standards, with whole-class, small-group and one-on-one instruction based on student needs.

Teachers use classroom and grade-level assessments to monitor progress and guide instruction. Art and physical education are also part of the charter program.

Who teaches my child during the day?

K–5 students spend most of the day with their classroom teacher. They may also learn with grade-level team teachers, specialty teachers or resource teachers, depending on the activity and their needs.

What does the school day look like?

The charter academic day runs from 8:30 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Check the school calendar for early-release days, holidays and breaks.

Paid Extended Day care is available before school from 7:30–8:15 a.m. and after school from 3:20–5:30 p.m. Students present during these times are charged. See care hours, fees and registration.

Everyday questions for elementary families

Uniforms and meals

K–8 students wear uniforms Monday–Thursday, with Friday free dress under the school’s dress code. Read the uniform guidelines. Families may use the school lunch program or send a packed lunch under the handbook’s food rules. See meal prices and eligibility information.

Working with your child’s teacher

The handbook asks families to support daily, uninterrupted study time at home. Read the schoolwork guidance. Parent–teacher conferences are scheduled in October and March, with additional meetings by arrangement. See conference details.

Applying for Kindergarten or an elementary grade

Use the new-family application if your family has never had a Milestones student. Current and former families use the returning-family login. Contact the office for current openings and waitlists; an application does not guarantee a place.
