OK this is not your typical blog. Normally we write about all the reasons you should come to Edge High School – from tuition-free credit recovery to self-paced learning to 1:1 support. But sometimes we forget to include a really important reason on that list. Maybe the MOST important reason TBH. Because Edge makes high school FUN!
Time for a Reset
We don’t know what kind of experience you’ve had in high school before coming to Edge. You may have had a tough time academically and failed classes. You may have been bullied or felt like you never fit in socially. Or you may have had life circumstances that just made it tough to succeed. At Edge, your past experiences do not need to define who you are today. You can have a fresh start with us. And part of that fresh start is the discovery that there is JOY in learning!
“My favorite memory being at Edge has to be our Field Day! I had so much fun that day, especially dumping our favorite teachers and staff into the water and covering Rob in temporary tattoos. Seeing everyone taking a break from hard work to just have fun and be free was memorable.” (Edge Graduate Serena Gonzalez)
Break The Mold
At Edge we bring JOY to learning by stepping outside of a traditional classroom model to try new things. We’ll take field trips to local businesses, and spend time helping others in our annual Day of Service. We’ll get outside to learn about science at UA Sky School. Our weekly extracurriculars and clubs will help you build friendships and inspire new interests. And we host a weekly Snack Bar and themed events like Winter Wonderland, Design Days, Pi Day, and Field Day, that bring our Edge community together in unique ways that everyone enjoys.
Find Your People
Our school culture is committed to rejecting stigma and fostering inclusivity for all learners. What that means is that our teachers, staff and students treat each other with mutual respect. At Edge, you’ll find friends who value – and maybe even share – your unique personality and learning style!
Learn What You Love
The joy of learning shouldn’t stop at graduation. At Edge, we’ll help you pursue a career or post-secondary education in an area that you love. We’ll work with you to identify directions you can take after graduation, and then create a plan to get you to your dreams. From exploring career paths with area businesses to visiting Tucson area colleges, you’ll take the first steps towards a future of lifelong learning.
