As a tuition-free public charter school, EAGLE College Prep South Mountain serves children in kindergarten through eighth grade from a modern campus in the fast-changing South Mountain neighborhood of Phoenix. With a mission to help students nurture a strong character, the faculty at EAGLE South Mountain “explicitly teach and discuss respect, integrity, justice, responsibility, self-sacrifice, diligence and courage” with guidance set in the Civic Character Formation Project. In the classroom, teachers follow an academic model that integrates whole-group and small-group instruction to better individualize the needs of students and offer more one-on-one attention.
