The ACES - Peoria Campus

Arizona Autism Charter Schools (AZACS) stands as a pioneering institution dedicated to serving students on the autism spectrum and those with various learning differences. As Arizona's first tuition-free charter network focused on autism education, AZACS offers a nurturing and inclusive environment for students from kindergarten through 12th grade across multiple campuses in Central Phoenix, West Valley, Tucson, and through an accredited online platform. The school's core mission emphasizes personalized support tailored to each student's unique needs, ensuring that every child can thrive academically and socially. AZACS employs evidence-based methodologies under the guidance of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), fostering a data-driven approach to instruction that promotes student growth and achievement. Programs are designed to cater to all levels of the autism spectrum, incorporating therapeutic practices that enhance communication, social skills, and academic performance. The school's Transition Academy further supports young adults aged 18-22 in developing essential life skills for independence. What sets AZACS apart is its commitment to low student-teacher ratios, which facilitates individualized attention and strengthens family partnerships. By hosting community events and creating specialized facilities geared towards sensory-friendly experiences, AZACS cultivates a supportive atmosphere where families feel connected and engaged. This holistic approach not only empowers students but also fosters a sense of belonging within the wider community.
