Valley Springs Academy

Premium
Serving Concho, AZGrades K-12

Valley Springs Academy is an ESA-approved online special education school for Arizona students in Kindergarten through Grade 11. We serve students with disabilities, including autism and other learning differences, who do better with a structured, predictable school day they can attend from home. Our certified educators teach small virtual class groups and use Specifically Designed Instruction to adapt content, pacing, and lesson delivery to each student. We build lessons on Universal Design for Learning so every student has more than one way to access material and show what they know, and we ground our teaching in John Hattie's Visible Learning research on what moves achievement forward. Academics come first, and we also teach the skills that make learning stick: executive functioning (planning, organization, and self-management), communication and social skills, and practical life skills that build independence. We enroll families statewide, from Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, and Tempe to Glendale, Surprise, Goodyear, Avondale, Tucson, Flagstaff, Yuma, Kingman, and Show Low. Our team walks families through Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) eligibility, enrollment forms, and documentation, then builds an individualized learning plan with each family before classes start. Our principal, Dr. Tracie Wendorf-Salgado, has taught special education for more than 25 years.

Legacy Learning Community - Concho

Listed
Concho, AZ

The Concho campus of Legacy Learning Community serves K-12 students from Concho and surrounding rural Arizona communities. Legacy Learning Community is a specialized private school for neurodivergent K-12 students and students with Individualized Education Programs, with Arizona Department of Education certified educators in every school so that graduates earn a diploma. Classrooms are calm, predictable, and structured to support emotional regulation and reduce anxiety, and all programming is individualized and aligned to each student's IEP, with small classes and personalized pacing. Concho also hosts a hybrid high school program, and students build daily living skills with on-site laundry facilities. Staff are trained in emotional regulation and positive behavior support, and many come from the communities they serve. Behavioral support is built into the school day. Registered Behavior Technicians and Board Certified Behavior Analysts work alongside teachers so families do not need to coordinate outside providers or insurance claims, and behavioral specialists coach classroom staff on an ongoing basis. Teachers include ASL-fluent staff, and the school serves students across the federal special education categories, including specific learning disabilities, health impairments such as ADHD and epilepsy, and orthopedic impairments. The broader program includes counseling, mindfulness, social skills development, vocational training, college preparation, and practical life skills. Families may enroll privately with ESA funds or through placement by their local school district.
