ARCHWAY CLASSICAL ACADEMY CHANDLER

What ARCHWAY CLASSICAL ACADEMY CHANDLER does

Archway Classical Academy Chandler is a public K-5 charter school located at 1951 N. Alma School Road in Chandler, Arizona, operating within the Great Hearts America network of classical charter schools. The school delivers a classical liberal arts education to kindergarten through fifth-grade students, organized around the pillars of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty, and using a Socratic, screen-free pedagogy. Its core curriculum comprises Singapore Math, Spalding literacy, science, history, Spanish, fine arts, music, daily physical education, and a competitive chess program, all delivered through a distinctive two-teacher homeroom model pairing a lead teacher with an assistant in every classroom.

The school's technology stack is administrative rather than instructional: PowerSchool Parent Portal handles grades and student records, Schoolaxis (greathearts.schoolaxis.com) processes enrollment applications, and Configio powers the Parent Payment Portal. It also runs the After-School Athenaeum club program, summer programs, and special education services. The campus shares property with Chandler Preparatory Academy (grades 6-12), creating a co-located feeder pipeline, while Archway Chandler maintains its own entrance, offices, and age-appropriate playgrounds.

As a public charter school, Archway Chandler does not charge tuition and is primarily funded through per-pupil state allocations and federal grants. Supplemental revenue is generated via voluntary donations and a corporate gift-matching program. The go-to-market motion is enrollment-driven, relying on K-5 information nights, on-campus and virtual tours, an interest list, and direct website enrollment, with applications funneled through the Schoolaxis portal. The institution is led by Headmaster Lisa Brady and serves families across Chandler, Tempe, Mesa, and the broader East Valley region of Arizona.
