Living in Phoenix, Arizona real estate, you will certainly have plenty of great choices when it comes to schools, whether you are needing elementary, high school or post-secondary.
To begin with, Phoenix alone has 325 public elementary and high schools and more than 200 charter schools in 30 school districts. Private schools and academies, some affiliated with faith communities, add another layer to the diversity of available schooling options. Nearby Scottsdale, Cave Creek and Paradise Valley School Districts overlap some Phoenix boundaries, so it bears checking into those options when doing your research.
In addition to the wealth of choices in the lower grades, educational opportunities abound for both college-degree-seekers and those whose talents draw them to technical or specialty training. For example, a robust community college system exists, with ten institutions making up the Maricopa County Community College system. One of the most popular choices for a broad-based university education in the Phoenix area is definitely Arizona State University, which has four campuses located throughout the valley. The main campus is in Tempe, with additional campuses located in downtown Phoenix, northwest Phoenix (near Glendale), and Mesa. With a total enrollment of more than 67,000 students, ASU is one of the largest universities in terms of student population in the United States.
The University of Arizona, whose main campus is in Tucson, has established a College of Medicine in downtown Phoenix. Grand Canyon University and The American Indian College offer yet more post-secondary choices, while the world-renowned Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale attracts students from around the world to its graduate Business programs.
Meanwhile, online or on-campus degree programs can be taken through the University of Phoenix, an institution that bills itself as the largest private university in North America, but if your heart is truly in the kitchen, the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, the Arizona Culinary Institute and The Art Institute of Phoenix can all whip you into chef-shape with their award-winning programs of study. rl0z1
