Three decades of A+ excellence. Tuition-free. Now enrolling for next school year.
Arizona kindergarten enrollment 2026 is now open at EDUPRIZE Schools — and families across the East Valley are paying attention. Choosing your child’s first classroom shapes everything that follows. The right kindergarten builds confidence, instills a love of learning, and gives your child the foundation they need for elementary school, middle school, and beyond.
EDUPRIZE has been quietly building Arizona’s strongest kindergarten experience for three decades. We’re the state’s longest-running 6× A+ Excelling charter school. We’re tuition-free. We’re family-focused. And we’re enrolling now for the 2026-27 school year.
Here’s what makes EDUPRIZE the right choice for your kindergartener.
A Foundation That Lasts a Lifetime
Kindergarten isn’t just about ABCs and counting. It’s where children learn how to learn. The routines they build, the relationships they form with teachers, and the confidence they develop in those first nine months become the foundation for everything else.
At EDUPRIZE, we take that foundation seriously. Our kindergarten classrooms blend structured academics with the play, exploration, and social learning five-year-olds need. Reading, writing, math, science — taught by Arizona-certified teachers who specialize in early childhood education.
The result? Students who arrive in first grade ready to thrive.
6× A+ Excelling — Arizona’s Longest Streak
Most schools talk about academic performance. EDUPRIZE has the track record.
We’ve been rated A+ Excelling by the Arizona Department of Education six consecutive times. That’s the longest A+ streak of any charter school in the state. It’s not a fluke. It’s the result of decades of disciplined instruction, family partnership, and a commitment to every single student.
When you enroll your child in EDUPRIZE kindergarten, you’re not gambling on a new program. You’re joining a school with a multi-decade track record of academic excellence.
Tuition-Free Public Charter Education
EDUPRIZE is a tuition-free public charter school. That means every Arizona family — regardless of income — can access the same award-winning kindergarten education.
No tuition. No income requirements. No lottery weighting. Just real public education with charter school flexibility and accountability.
