The Phoenix Academy

Every potential student should apply for enrollment into the Phoenix Academy through their counselor.  Student, parent and counselor should work together to determine if the Phoenix Academy is a viable option for the student to be successful in completing their graduation requirements.

Students must be at least 16 years of age and have a minimum of 10 credits to be considered.  Student with continuous serious discipline referrals will not be considered ( i.e. insubordination, fighting, profanity, etc…) Our campus is designed to provide students with a positive culture that will motivate and inspire them to be all that they can be.

You will start once you have completed your orientation and have withdrawn from your home campus.

We accept students at various times throughout the school year.  As students graduate, spaces become available for new students. Your counselor will be notified when spaces are available to accept students.
