Aspire, Deer Valley's Online Academy is a free public school in the Deer Valley Unified School District and is one of the highest-ranked online schools in  Arizona. Students in K-12 are offered a hybrid model of learning. Aspire provides synchronous (live) instruction for students in grades K-8 and asynchronous (independent) instruction for students in grades 9-12. Aspire provides a guaranteed, viable curriculum. Gifted and specialized instruction is available for qualifying students, in addition to remediation learning supports for all students as needed. Seniors graduate with a Deer Valley Unified School District diploma.

Learning in-person is also a valued option at our school. Scholars in all grades are encouraged to come to our site to work with teachers in-person for remediation and/or enrichment. Special area teachers (art, music, PE, and gifted) present engaging opportunities for expanded learning.  

Aspire offers in-person, virtual, and hybrid clubs and groups. This is another way that students build community and friendships.
