Welcome to Edison

Welcome to Edison Elementary School, where we believe in unlocking every child's potential for success, without exception. We prioritize quality instruction using innovative methodologies such as Quality for Teaching English Language Learners, Kagan Structures, and Thinking Maps, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive.

At the core of our educational ethos lies the fundamental belief that all children are capable of success, without exception. We embrace the Kids at Hope philosophy, which recognizes and cultivates the innate potential within each individual, irrespective of background or circumstance. Our approach is rooted in positivity, empowerment, and the firm conviction that every child possesses the capacity to achieve greatness.

Our dedication extends beyond the classroom; we actively engage with families and the community to achieve our collective goals. At Edison, we understand the importance of nurturing not just the mind, but also the heart. That's why we place a strong emphasis on the social and emotional welfare of our students. Our diverse array of after-school programs, including STEM Club, Chess Club, Board Game Club, Piano Club, sports, and tutoring, offer something for everyone, ensuring holistic development.

We also offer guitar classes that are taught thanks to the support of programs like Lead Guitar and a grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts (ACA). Join us at Edison Elementary School, where we celebrate every child's journey to success and empower them to reach for the stars!
