Empowering Students to Be Future-Ready, In and Outside the Classroom

Tempe Elementary Schools are committed to the promise of freeing the boundless potential in all children. We believe all students want to learn, can learn, and demonstrate success in individual ways through the mastery of core subjects such as reading, writing, math and science, building intellect, character and development of critical thinking skills.

Through the students' preschool-8 journey, inside and outside of the classroom experiences will result in students becoming well adjusted, well-rounded, independent thinkers who are inspired by their community and empowered to reach their highest potential. 

We prepare future-ready preschool-8th grade students for a lifetime of core skills:

  • Love of Learning
  • Achievement for all students
  • Communicate Interpersonally
  • Problem Solve & Persevere
  • Self Awareness & Confidence 
  • Adaptability
  • Impact the Community Innovatively and Productively
  • Active Participant Mindset 
  • Empowered Sense of Self
