Heritage K-8 School

Recently  built in Verrado Heritage District, the school site is located near the fire station just west of Verrado Way and north of Thomas. The new school will accommodate up to 950 students from kindergarten to the eighth grade, which will equate to about 4 classes for each grade level.

Verrado Heritage Elementary School has one K-5 strand of Traditional Academy with Core Knowledge ELA and Singapore Math as it’s curriculum. Our 6th grade will have a Traditional Academy class.  Grades 7th and 8th will have an Honors strand just as our other District middle schools.

Verrado High School

Verrado High School is an innovative school focused on promoting rigor through a relevant curriculum and positive relationships. Administrators created a small-school environment by splitting up the students into four houses of 400 kids and assigning the students in each house the same teachers in math, science, and English. The schools-within-a-school structure that Verrado High School has adopted is one way to create an intimate learning environment that allows for close relationships among students and teachers that lead to success. Verrado supports the Agua Fria High School District’s mission of “All Students College Ready”. The school was recognized as “Highly Performing” by the Arizona Department of Education and was recently acknowledged for its dramatic improvement in test scores.
