"Why Choose Reid Traditional Schools?"
As a parent, you know the importance of your children’s education. Your choice of school will have a big impact on their future. It will open new doors into an exciting world of opportunities. It will give them the foundation they need to navigate their lives as thoughtful, principled human beings.
At Reid Traditional Schools, we offer a solid, traditional educational curriculum in a loving and caring environment. Our students excel in reading, mathematics, and the sciences. But we go beyond the usual core curriculum, ensuring that our students have an appreciation of great literature, can identify art’s great masterpieces, memorize and recite famous poems and speeches, understand the causes and effects of historical events, and can identify states and countries on a map. We thought about the breadth of knowledge we wanted our own children to carry with them throughout their lives, and we will give that gift to your children as well. Our students receive the tools they will need to navigate and excel in life.
Best of all, Reid Traditional Schools are paid for by the state of Arizona, so your child will attend tuition-free. Learn more about why you should choose Reid Traditional Schools for your child. Enroll your child today!
Because the learning environment is respected, it is easy to accelerate studies.
Our students typically perform a grade ahead of expectations.
Thanks to our phonics-based reading program, our typical kindergarten student can read short books by winter break. We know what kind of potential kids have and, when presented with a challenge, they still surprise us with their achievement.
A hallmark of our founding philosophy is respect for the role of the parent. We understand that we are providing your family a service, and we respect the fact that the home is the proper place to teach values and philosophies. We present facts in a historical context, but it is up to the parent to craft these facts into a worldview for their children.
We welcome parents into our schools and love working together to watch the children thrive.
