Description

Milestones was founded in 1999.  The six founders worked together in an area private school that decided to close its doors in April of 1999.  Supportive parents encouraged the founders to start their own school in order for their children to continue receiving the same high-quality education.  With their passion and dedication to these children the founders began to investigate the charter school process and were soon chartered by Peach Springs School District.

Milestones opened its doors on Aug. 18, 1999 with approximately 45 children from age 3 – 3rd grade.  The original campus was located at 53rd street and Thunderbird, where the school leased space from a church.  During the first year Milestones founders went before the State Charter Board and were able to change their sponsorship in order to have a more direct link to the State Board of Education.

For the following four years, Milestones campus grew along with its enrollment.  By the end of the 2002-2003 school year Milestones served age 3-grade 6.  The founders had wanted to buy land and build a new campus so funding was located and the new campus was built at 4707 Robert E. Lee St.   The new campus opened its doors in the fall of 2003 serving infants through 7th grade.

It has always been Milestones mission to provide a safe and nurturing environment where kids feel free to take risks academically, socially and emotionally.  All Milestones programs have educational philosophies that provide children with an environment for holistic learning, daily practice of skills, hands-on experiences, technological awareness and strong character development.  Milestones believes that the growth of knowledge is the result of individual connections made by the learner.  We also believe that complex and concrete experiences are essential for meaningful learning and teaching to occur.  Using the Arizona State Standards as a base, the core of Milestones curriculum centers on children “making connections.”  By using this approach, children can build upon previous knowledge to connect through music, performing and visual arts, Spanish and technology as second languages, and physical education.

Milestones guides students in identifying their own strengths and weaknesses, so they may be able to incorporate them in their life-long learning.  We encourage them to use these skills to communicate effectively; solve problems responsibly; strive for quality in their work; and accept responsibility for their behavior and learning.

Currently, Milestones Charter School serves infants through eighth grade.
