Transformational Learning Opportunities:

• Arizona offers a variety of online learning options! As of 2023, three schools - Arizona Virtual Academy, Insight Academy of Arizona, and Grand Canyon Private Academy - are open for students located anywhere in the state. Additionally, Arizona’s Online Instruction program offers virtual or online learning in 115 Arizona school districts and 22 charter schools. 
• ASU Preparatory Academy and Sunnyside Unified School District are members of Digital Promise’s League of Innovative Schools, collectively serving roughly 22,000 students. The League of Innovative Schools is a national network of school leaders in 150 districts in 38 states that aim to enhance and scale digital learning opportunities for students across the nation.

• The state provides teachers with multiple instructional resources to integrate technology in the classroom.
• Curious about your district’s internet access? ConnectK-12 provides state- and district-specific information on access to the recommended bandwidth speeds and monthly internet costs. 

Career & Technical and/or Work-based Education:

• Arizona allows schools to offer work-based learning opportunities to students, as demonstrated by the Department of Education’s commitment to Career and Technical Education, which provides a portal for families to explore available CTE programming. Further, participation in CTE or work-based learning programs may allow students to earn credit, given local school district approval. 

• Under statute, Arizona allows competency-based graduation requirements.
• In an effort to promote and advocate for personalized learning, The Center for the Future of Arizona boasts a Personalized Learning Network (AZPLN), which “provides pathways for individual educators, schools, and district/charter networks to adopt personalized, competency-based learning and create more excellent and equitable outcomes for all students.” The organization currently partners with Amphitheater Public Schools, Mesa Public Schools, Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District No. 35, Yuma Union High School District, and Arizona State University’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College.
