A School Built
Differently.
STEM-Rich from Day One
Hands-on STEM learning begins in Transitional Kindergarten — not middle school. Every student starts their pathway early.
Future-Ready Pathways
AI & Drones, Sports Science, or Virtual Reality — students choose a pathway in Kindergarten and grow with it through 8th grade.
Completely Tuition-Free
Stembridge Academy is a public charter school. No tuition. No fees. Open to every eligible student in Arizona.
Neuro-Informed Teaching
Students learn how their own brains work — building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and lifelong learning skills.
Community-Rooted
Located in Maryvale and South Phoenix — two communities that deserve a world-class school built specifically for them.
Beyond the Classroom
Field experiences, community partner residencies, and service learning connect every lesson to the real world around our students.
Our Growth
Plan.
To ensure every student receives personalized attention and a strong educational foundation, Stembridge Academy will open using a thoughtful, phased expansion model — adding one grade level each year.
We open in 2027 serving TK through 2nd grade. Each subsequent year, one additional grade level is added — allowing our founding students to grow with us all the way through 8th grade.
Founding families who enroll in 2027 will be with Stembridge Academy for the full TK–8 journey — watching the school grow alongside their children.
School Year · Grade Levels Served
Full TK–8 model complete by the 2033–2034 school year.
