SCHOOL REIMAGINED

A free, public school where children EXPLORE, CREATE,
and PREPARE for a life full of possibility.

A free, public school where children EXPLORE, CREATE, and PREPARE for a life full of possibility.

At Phoenix Modern, we imagine a community of learners driven by an innate sense of wonder, where children experience joy and loving relationships, and the learning approach is designed to support a lifetime of growth.

Wonder

As infants, children explore their worlds with a sense of awe. They grasp for and examine unfamiliar objects in an intense state of wonder. Our engaging quests and exploratory approach to learning nurture children’s innate curiosity and imagination, ensuring that they continue to love learning, ask questions, and find beauty in the world.

Love

Respect, trust, and love lay the foundation for the emotional state most conducive for learning. As a student-centered community, we bring our whole heart to the mission of improving learning. We believe positive, loving relationships guide students to their full potential as human beings. More →

Joy

Joyful learning experiences inspire us to become life-long learners. At Phoenix Modern, we build on a child’s desire for joy through meaningful, productive activity, creative physical spaces, and playful inquiry. We believe learning should not require giving up joy but rather unleash it. More →

Growth

Nurturing the growth and development of your child is our highest priority. At Phoenix Modern, we view learning as a nonlinear continuum. We guide students to develop a growth mindset by using intentional language and by celebrating deep practice and productive struggle. More →

Black Lives Matter

We, as the faculty and staff of Phoenix Modern, are on the side of justice and peace in our communities, and we recognize the systemic oppression and police brutality that is especially targeting our black community. As we enter our second year as a learning community, we are actively creating a culture that centers around our children.
