We meet our students wherever — and whoever — they are academically and personally. We create a plan to get to graduation and we do it all on a first name basis. Equal footing. Tireless support. That’s EDGE.
Separate? Still equal.
We use first names — whether in-person or distance learning — because we are on equal footing. One of our top priorities is building a trusting, solid rapport with you.
Since 1985, our small, supportive charter school and highly-qualified teachers have earned the trust of the unique high school kids, like you, we get to call our students.
We are the oldest, most well-established charter school in Tucson. We’re celebrating our 25th birthday this year! We have helped thousands of students find their futures with our highly-supportive 1:1 relationships. Our respect for every individual is matched only by our commitment to flexible schedules and multiple options for credit recovery.
No haters or skaters.
At EDGE, no one skates by. We believe in grit and growth. We use a mastery-based learning approach and our students thrive in this model, earning both credits and confidence. You can, too.
We are an alternative school community. We reject stigma, instill coping skills and foster inclusivity.
Striving Together.
Our highly qualified teachers individualize education and adapt to diverse learning styles. They’re caring and dedicated, too.
Our alternative school approach addresses deficiencies, enables a supportive 1:1 environment and elevates student development. We know how strong you are!
We recognize obstacles as necessary parts of high school growth, teach accountability and grit, and celebrate the individual in every EDGE student. You are never alone.
Be you. With us. At Edge! Enrolling now — and year round.
