The middle school teachers do a wonderful job of encouraging the students at that level while also not coddling them so they learn to be accountable which helps prepare them for high-school. My middle child struggled with reading and the RTI staff did a wonderful job of not only aiding him in his reading progress but also making a personal connection so that he feels comfortable with them and for a kid who can be a bit awkward, that’s been a beautiful thing to see. I know she will be well cared for and get a top notch public education at the same time. My youngest child has a host of medical issues and honestly Calibre staff have made me feel so much more at ease with the decision to send her in person. When my children enter schoolI do not feel as though I have sent them off to be looked after by strangers, I feel a sense of safety knowing that I send them somewhere teachers and staff look after them and educate them as if they were their own children.

Despite the challenges that Arizona faced as a whole and the pandemic I have found Calibre to be a welcoming school where the staff take an active interest in my children’s academic progress and overall well being. I found Calibre, enrolled and he’s now entering 8th grade with siblings entering 5th and 1st.

When my son was entering Kinder I had concerns about our local school district so I opted to explore charters. They are in uniforms but they can wear jeans & any leggings under their skirts if they would like so there are still ways for kids to express themselves even in uniforms. They also offer after school extracurricular activities, like sports & choir. We have rarely had any issues with teacher communication, most respond to emails the same day depending on the time. On top of that, they do many projects which foster creativity every year. They also started project based learning a few years ago, which means the students give 3-4 presentations on different subjects every year, so, on top of the learning from doing the projects themselves, by the time they go to high school public speaking won’t be an issue. They also offer a full range of specials, like music, PE, technology, & multiple different art classes. They have free tutoring for students in need before school & smaller group learning for certain subjects during the school day. We originally started there for the full day kindergarten but there are many other things this school offers. We have one son who has already graduated from Calibre & a daughter who has gone there since kinder & is going into 6th grade this year.
