Paradise Valley Schools Home to Many National Board Certified Teachers

Kudos to the Paradise Valley Unified School District for having over 60 teachers who have earned National Board Certification, one of the highest achievements in the teaching profession. The Paradise Valley Unified School District is one of the top two districts in Arizona in terms of the number of National Board Certified Teachers, a fact that proves that if you purchase or already own a home, land or other residential real estate in Paradise Valley, the local public schools offer an excellent choice for your family.

Developed by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, the elite National Board Certification strengthens and reaffirms teaching strategies, adds credibility to the teaching profession and represents the profession’s commitment to high standards. After teachers attain eligibility, they take a Pre-Candidacy class to prepare for the certification process, which takes one to three years depending on the pathway a teacher chooses.

The Paradise Valley Unified School District district consists of 45 schools: 31 elementary schools (kindergarten through grade six), eight middle schools (grades seven and eight) and six high schools (grades nine through 12). The district offers a variety of specialized education choice programs, including K-12 International Baccalaureate, Core Knowledge©, S.T.E.M.G2 (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Global Geography), Digital Learning Center and much more.

With a total enrollment of over 33,000 students, the Paradise Valley district is the seventh largest school district in Arizona. The district’s 98-square-mile boundaries include a significant portion of northeast Phoenix as well as a portion of north Scottsdale, and extend from Seventh Avenue on the west to Pima Road on the east. The southern boundary is Northern Avenue, with the northern boundary being Jomax Road.
