Specialties
Desert Shadows is a Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) focused school, as well as an Arizona Gold Award winner for our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework that we provide. In partnership with the school community, we provide project-based STEAM lessons and activities across the curriculum. Teachers utilize exploration and discovery within a collaborative and cooperative learning environment while proactively teaching positive social behaviors. This makes for a great place for students to learn and grow! Since the Fall of 2014 Desert Shadows has been offering Suzuki Strings lessons for all of our preschool through 3rd grade students as part of their regular curriculum. All 4th through 6th grade students also add lessons to their schedule if they so choose: auditions will be required for the older students.
