What Parents Are Saying:

  • I definitely would not have chosen another school for our child. She is absolutely blossomed under the tutelage of her teachers. Characater development is one of the biggest reasons we chose to enroll our child here. They are regularly rewarded and recognized for displaying character qualities and in our experience, it has been made clear to the students at bullying is not an acceptable practice. Rather than just deal with it when it comes up, our child's teacher has effectively dealt with it before it starts

    Parent / Leading Edge Academy Maricopa

  • “Leading Edge Academy Maricopa has given my children a wonderful place to learn. The staff is so kind and compassionate and has always dealt with issues in a loving and timely manner. I love the Character Pledge and that the school encourages parents and students to live by it. Mr. Reese has always been willing to talk with me and has a noticeable presence with the children. Leading Edge has exceeded my expectations.”

Through word of mouth by satisfied parents, the school began to grow each year. In 2007 The Leading Edge Charter Network took this successful format and expanded to East Mesa. The Leading Edge Charter Network continues to expand and currently has school sites in East Mesa, Queen Creek, Gilbert and Maricopa.
