We believe that school staff, parents and family members, and the students themselves all have a significant impact on the academic, physical, and emotional development of our students. It is our mission to work together with families to provide a variety of high quality educational and social experiences that foster academic, emotional, and social growth, promote individual excellence and positive group connections, and effectively prepare students for life after high school.
The staff at Copper Canyon Academy believes in every student’s ability to be successful. Smaller, safer classrooms allow students to receive more individualized attention, and formal student recognition programs offer positive feedback and direction to all. The traditional campus includes a full-size gymnasium and spacious playground areas, promoting positive, diverse social interaction and active student & family participation in the school’s activities.
