Hello students, staff and families. I am Kyle A. Dodenhoff Director of Education at Arizona Preparatory Academy. I wanted to introduce myself and provide some insight into the educational philosophy of our school. Students enrolled in Arizona Preparatory Academy (APA) will be welcomed to online learning and empowered with the guidance and support required for the best chance of success. Students will be encouraged to maintain a demeanor of high expectations, seek guidance from their online teachers and mentor, and be counseled on and encouraged to access all available online learning resources. Guidance for online students will focus on an understanding that success is not only measured in acceptable performance standards, but also in their adequate monthly progress, regular daily and weekly participation, and preparing for post-graduation success.

Yes there have been many problems with the school in the past, now that they have changed staff, and St. Board of Educ. has taken over, it is great. My son was one of those that had taken classes that were not needed to graduate,and did not get his diploma. He had to go back and retake classes and stay another year. He is now learning what those that already graduated did not. I thank God that they sent in people who cared about his education and not being his best friend.
