For many Arizona families, finding the right school isn’t just about test scores—it’s about balance. Between work schedules, extracurriculars, family commitments, and daily routines, parents need an option that supports both academic excellence and everyday life. That’s where the TOPS Program (Technology Optimized Program & Schedules) at EDUPRIZE Gilbert and Queen Creek shines.
TOPS is a flexible K–6 learning model that blends the full EDUPRIZE curriculum with shortened daily schedules and integrated technology—without compromising academic quality. Designed for the needs of today’s families, this program gives your child a strong foundation in a structure that works for your life.
Built for Families Who Need Options
The TOPS Program offers two daily schedule options, giving families more control over their time:
🕖 TOPS AM: 7:15 AM – 12:15 PM
🕙 TOPS PM: 10:40 AM – 3:40 PM
📍 Available at both Gilbert and Queen Creek campuses – times vary slightly based on location
Both schedules deliver a full instructional day in just five hours by removing lunch and one recess period—helping students stay focused, efficient, and energized. This leaves more time at home for:
- Family bonding
- Rest and recovery
- Extracurricular activities
- After-school tutoring or therapies
- Smoother daily transitions
What Makes TOPS Unique?
The TOPS Program is more than just shorter hours—it’s a tech-powered, highly personalized approach to learning. Here’s what sets it apart:
✅ 1:1 Student-to-Device Technology
Students have individual access to Chromebooks or iPads, and classrooms are equipped with Smart Boards, Apple TVs, and document cameras to support interactive, visual learning.
✅ Full Curriculum & Specials
TOPS students still receive the same award-winning EDUPRIZE curriculum and attend Science Lab, Music, and PE—just in a more focused format.
✅ Certified, Caring Teachers
All instruction is delivered by Arizona-certified educators trained to engage young learners in a tech-supported environment.
✅ No Cost to Attend
TOPS is completely tuition-free for all Arizona K–6 students.
A Smart Fit for Today’s Students
TOPS is ideal for children who:
- Learn best in shorter, focused learning sessions
- Participate in sports, music, or travel
- Prefer digital tools and blended learning environments
- Thrive in structured yet flexible schedules
This innovative structure supports increased time-on-task, which research shows can improve academic performance and attention span. A study published by Education Week confirms that focused classroom time, paired with reduced transition periods, can significantly boost student learning outcomes (source).
