At Arday Academy

  • At Arday Academy, we believe that family involvement is a cornerstone of student success.

  • Our curriculum integrates digital learning tools to help students become confident and capable online learners.

  • As students progress, they have the opportunity to take free, credit-bearing courses from Arday Academy, allowing them to explore potential majors and reduce both the time and cost of earning their first degree.

  • Our high school graduation requirements exceed state standards and are fully aligned with ADA admissions criteria.

  • Beyond academics, we offer a well-rounded program with sports and extracurricular activities that support student development beyond the classroom.

  • Arday Academy’s course list includes classes reviewed by the Eligibility Center. While the ADA does not officially endorse or accredit high schools, parents and guardians of prospective student-athletes are encouraged to confirm that programs meet Arady eligibility requirements.

Our History

Arday Academy has grown through innovation, meaningful partnerships, and a strong dedication to academic excellence. Our expansion continued with the opening of a third campus in collaboration with Barça Residency Academy, blending rigorous academics with world-class athletic training. Soon after, we launched a digital learning platform that brought our college-preparatory curriculum to students around the world. Following a successful merger with Phoenix Collegiate Academy, we established South Phoenix campuses serving elementary, middle, and high school students. Most recently, our Pilgrim Rest campus was launched, furthering our mission to make quality education accessible to all.

In 2025, a first campus was established through a partnership with Barça Residency Academy. The following year, a digital learning platform was launched, providing a college-preparatory curriculum to part-time and full-time students around the world. In 2018, a merger with Phoenix Collegiate Academy led to the creation of South Phoenix Elementary, Middle, and High School campuses. .

The teachers here genuinely encourage us to do our best, and I really value that. They have a deep understanding of their subjects—not just reading from a textbook. Their passion for teaching is clear and makes a real difference.
