Arizona’s online schools draw on decades of experience in online
education to offer high-quality education that meets state
standards and is personalized to each student. The schools offer
in-person events and touchpoints to help students stay connected in
a digital learning environment.
“Online education provides parents and guardians a proven
learning alternative that prepares students for success beyond the
classroom while allowing for greater flexibility in their
schedules,” said Charles Woods, Jr., Executive Director at AZVA and
ISAZ. “As leaders in this space, Arizona’s online schools offer
customized course options, so students can achieve their academic
goals at their own pace in a productive and safe environment.”
Each of the Stride-powered Arizona schools specializes in
serving different student needs:
- AZVA, based in Phoenix, is a full-time, online K-12
public school option. It is one of the largest virtual schools in
the nation, with more than 5,000 students. AZVA is the only
state-approved, online virtual school with a CRE/CTE program that
trains students in career pathways ranging from cybersecurity and
veterinary medicine to sports training. Some students who graduate
from the school are able to obtain high-paying jobs with $50K
salaries.
- ISAZ, based in Glendale, is a full-time, online public
school option for students in grades 7-12. The school is dedicated
to inspiring and empowering students through a tailored education
experience on a trimester schedule, allowing students to take fewer
courses at a time. Optional and required instructional sessions are
scheduled each week and offer a more accommodating structure than
in traditional public schools. Students can have the flexibility of
creating a schedule that works for them with teacher support
throughout the day.
- GCPA, based in Glendale, is a leading online school
option empowering students in grades K-11. With supportive
teachers, seminar-based instruction that encourages student
participation and a flexible schedule, students are equipped to
excel beyond graduation. The school’s dual enrollment and Early
World Language programs allow students to graduate with an
associate's degree and be fluent in three languages. GCPA also
offers career prep opportunities and tuition is fully covered by
the Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program for students
residing in Arizona.
Families seeking more information on the ESA program can visit

“With a joint commitment from our staff, teachers and families
we’ll find your child’s excellence and empower them to achieve
their full potential at Grand Canyon Private Academy,” said Bouchra
Bouanani, Executive Director at GCPA. “Our seminar-based
instruction allows students to become more actively involved in
their education which we believe is a foundational component for
strong learning.”
