A tuition-free public charter school serving the Mesa community.
Advance U Elementary is a tuition-FREE, STEM-focused public charter school located in the heart of Mesa's Falcon District at 2929 E McKellips Rd. We are a safe, small school where your child becomes successful—in and beyond elementary school. Serving grades PreK-5, we are proud members of Leona Group Schools and are Cognia accredited.
Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment for all learners. We establish high expectations for success by developing each child's unique learning potential. Through a partnership between school and home, we foster intellectual growth, responsibility, independence and self-efficacy.
Our vision is to ensure that all students become skilled communicators, critical and innovative thinkers, collaborative problem solvers, and be responsible for their actions.
At Advance U Elementary, we believe that ALL students can succeed. Our caring teachers foster creativity and exploration in classrooms where collaboration and respect are the foundation of everything we do.
We are a safe, small school where your child becomes successful—in and beyond elementary school.
