The Valley of the Sun YMCA’s Y-Academy program inspires children to explore their creativity, develop new skills, and build positive relationships with peers and caring adult role models. Our activities cover a wide range of subjects, including literacy, mathematics, science, arts, technology, and healthy habits, fostering well-rounded development. With a state-licensed, developmentally appropriate curriculum, we focus on supporting children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. We proudly accept DES and Arizona Enrichment Center Scholarships to ensure access for families in need.

The International School of Arizona, now in its 26th year, offers French & Spanish language immersion programs that begin at 18 months and continue through 8th grade.  At ISA we don’t just teach the language but rather we teach IN the language.  We also have opportunities for Middle School students (Grades 6-8) with no prior, second language experience to join us!
