Summer will be over before you know it and soon it will be time to send the kids back to school. Fortunately, we live in a community that offers choices when it comes to your child’s education. In addition to our public school districts, several area charter schools are providing options as well. Mohave Accelerated Elementary School and Mohave Accelerated Learning Center have been providing quality education for years with their highly qualified, certified teachers using methods you won’t find in traditional public schools.As they continue togrow each year, more families are discovering the benefits of the charter school movement. Mohave Accelerated is now enrolling students for the 2009-10 school year and encourages every parent to take a good look at what they want in a school.

Mohave Accelerated Elementary School (grades K-5) has been rated “ Performing Plus” for the last two years by the Arizona Dept. of Education. In addition to traditional classrooms, multigrade classes accommodate more advanced students. Early grade levels take advantage of a computer program designed to get them reading quickly and upper grade levels benefit from another application that prepares them for the AIMS (Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards) test. Computer-based assessments throughout the year give the teachers and staff a detailed picture of each student’s academic capabilities, providing for unique, tailored instruction.


This year, the school is expanding with a new campus near the Bullhead Parkway. Spirit Life Church, at 2850 Silver Creek Road, is providing classroom space for the new facility which will serve grades K-3. The new campus is nearly full so interested parents are encouraged to contact the school quickly for more information.

Mohave Accelerated Learning Center (grades 6-12) continues to offer quality secondary-level education. The middle school provides a safe, structured campus for grades 6-8 with a superb teaching staff and a growing selection of elective courses. The high school offers a number of programs and a flexible schedule to accommodate any student. The Credit Recovery program has proven successful at helping people graduate after falling behind in their education. The online learning and dual-enrollment courses have reached out to advanced students looking to get ahead. Additionally, the school continues to offer competitive sports programs including tackle football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, golf, and paintball.

Both Mohave Accelerated schools keep classroom sizes low at all levels so space is limited. The first day of school is August 10th, but interested parents are urged to contact the school right away for more information before classes fill up.
