YOUNG SCHOLARS ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL CORP.

What YOUNG SCHOLARS ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL CORP. does

Young Scholar's Academy Charter School Corp. is an Arizona public charter school operating from a single facility at 1501 E. Valencia Road, Fort Mohave, AZ 86426, serving K-12 students from the eastern bank of the Colorado River communities of Fort Mohave, Mohave Valley, Oatman Topock, and Bullhead City. The school operates under a charter from the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (ASBCS) and is governed by an independent Governing Board, with funding derived primarily from Arizona per-pupil allocations supplemented by ancillary fee-based programs.

The school's product surface extends beyond core K-12 instruction into adjacent services: a fee-based preschool program (YSA Private School - Preschool, $175/week for five full days with progressive multi-day discounts) for children age 4+, a high school program (YSA Elite HS) covering grades 9-12, and a Special Session drop-in childcare program during school breaks at $25/day or $15/half-day. It also delivers Title I support, Special Education services, and before/after school care. Technology is delivered entirely through third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Edupoint Synergy (student information system) with StudentVUE and ParentVUE portals for grades and attendance, Discovery Education for digital curriculum across science, math, literacy, and social studies, Benchmark Universe for reading assessment, and Google Apps for single sign-on. The school maintains FERPA and CIPA compliance policies and publishes teacher salary data (average $64,035 for budget year 2026).

The business model is a hybrid of public charter funding (the dominant revenue stream, free to enrolled families) and fee-for-service ancillary programs (preschool and Special Session). Distribution is direct: prospective families submit enrollment forms processed first-come, first-served into a pending list. Marketing is community-driven through a Facebook page, the school's website (ysacs.org), Governing Board meetings, and parent word-of-mouth — there is no paid acquisition motion. The organization is operated independently of any parent company, with no disclosed private equity or venture capital ownership.

Expansion highlights3 records

Others

• EdisonLearning: National provider of school management services, instructional programs, and charter school partnerships. Comparable as an enabling peer providing operational and academic services that single-site charters like YSA may contract with for expansion support.
• Edupoint Educational Systems: Vendor of the Synergy student information system used by YSA. Comparable as the technology provider for YSA's grade book, ParentVUE, and StudentVUE portals—enabling an adjacent ecosystem view rather than direct competition.

Emerging players
