Founded
in 1999, Sonoran Desert School (SDS) is a chartered public high
school serving ninth through twelfth grande students in the East
Mesa. SDS is accredited by the North Central Association and offers
an accelerated curriculum featuring individualized instruction,
self-paced study, and the integration of technology. All instructors
at SDS are certified in accordance with the national initiative
toward high-quality teachers.
The instructional
program at SDS is aligned with the Arizona Academic Standards and
mixes individual study with small group activities and large group
discussions. Students have daily access to computer applications
and information technology, both of which are integrated with required
courses.
Because of its
flexibility and emphasis on content mastery, the SDS program appeals
to students who are either behind in their academic credits or students
who have the ability and desire to complete their high school credits
at an accelerated pace. |
