Individualized Learning
At Desert Heights we believe individualized learning matters. Our programs are designed to support the learning styles of every student. We ensure students are supported to reach their maximum learning ability and we manage strategies for success. As students grow, they join the collaboration by setting their educational goals and completing data journals to understand their needs. We monitor students by age, development stages and social aspects to understand the entire student.

Parent Testimonials
Our family has been part of the Desert Heights Community for four years, and we currently have a middle schooler, a high schooler, and a recent graduate. When touring high schools for our oldest child, we knew as soon as we walked through the campus that this was the place for our family. The administration is always welcoming and transparent in their communication. Our children have experienced some incredibly invested educators, who support them in and out of the classroom. They have participated in several sports teams and clubs, and always feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged among their peers and the staff. With varying interests and strengths, all of our children have been able to find their talents at Desert Heights and thrive. Our recent grad left high school with much confidence and ready to take on his future plans. Being part of the Coyote community has been a wonderful decision and experience! ~ Alison W.
I have 2 sons that have graduated and 1 currently in high school. We thought my oldest was behind in math when he graduated but when he tested into JC he tested above other graduates. My middle son will be attending Grand Canyon University on academic scholarships. ~ Katrina E.
My daughter has been in this school since we moved here from Chicago almost 6 years ago. My husband and I love this school and highly recommend it because they are kind of a private school and have a lot of good rules to keep my girl structured and focused. I kept my daughter here cause I really love and appreciate the teachers the way they are in this horrible generation they need a lot a lot of patience. Thank you Desert Heights, I have another 2 kids coming. ~ Danita Y.
This school is amazing! They push those who need a push and support those who struggle. They truly provide individualized instruction and are invested in each child's education ~ Sara H.
My son has been with Desert Heights since Kindergarten, he is now a Freshman. I absolutely love this school and the staff. You've been a major part in helping me teach the wonderful man he is growing up to be. I really can't thank you enough, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU Desert Heights Staff! ~ Natasha B.
We currently have 8th grade and sophomore sons at DHPA. Next year, our daughter will join the "pack" as a 7th grader! This school has been a good fit for our boys and I'm confident that our daughter will do well there also. I like the smaller community (vs. a huge public high school). Administration really invests in the students and they set the high schoolers up for success with lots of emphasis on college! There are plenty of extracurricular options from drama to dance and of course athletics. We personally really enjoy the football and baseball programs. ~ Amy J.
