SDCS is among the top schools in the state for the amount a student learns at the school in a given year. (www.azcharters.org/successmeasured) SDCS is an accelerated program that teaches one grade level above Arizona standards. SDCS' percentage of passing the Arizona State Standardized tests surpasses the Arizona average. (Note: 100% of students at SDCS are tested).
SDCS provides a well rounded curriculum with hands-on learning opportunities including science lab, violin lessons, art appreciation, Spanish, and technology integration. To further challenge our gifted and talented students, SDCS implements an enrichment program for 4th-6th grade students focusing on Mythology Around the World.
SDCS balances academics with socialization, leadership, and service to others through Dance, Debate, Geography Clubs, and Student Council.
SDCS' emphasis on physical fitness extends beyond the regular physical education program. Students are encouraged to participate in an after school sports club as well as in the intramural sports program for 5-7th grades sponsored by a local community group.
SDCS' approach to small group "pull outs" provide an opportunity for students to master the concepts and hone their creative and critical thinking skills.
SDCS' faculty and staff take pride on providing a caring and nurturing environment.
