Academic model
Guided intuition is our academic foundation.
We see education as a fulfilled way of living, where empowered teachers, mentors, and coaches connect with scholar-athletes through critical thinking, dialogue, sport, and the whole width of a real life. Monday through Thursday carries the day; Friday belongs to training and family.
The rhythm
One integrated day, four days a week.
The same rhythm carries every grade, Monday through Thursday. Mondays add our weekly field trip: real experiences, events, educational resources, and real-world lessons across Phoenix.
Zero Hour
The day starts with life skills: how to fish, how to make breakfast, how to follow a recipe, how to do a chore. Older athletes rotate through speed and weight training.
Communal gathering & morning meditation
The whole academy gathers to start the day present and together, grounded in HEM: the human essence manifold.
Training
Private group training by age and skill at a 7:1 ratio, with increased intensity and detail as athletes advance.
Lunch, English & Literature
A shared meal flows into English and Literature. Older groups add weekly film study and tactical review.
Math & Science
Online Math and Science, guided in the room by our academic coach.
Electives
Food, art, music, dance, theater, design, gardening, entrepreneurship, and more, taught by the people who lived them.
Friday belongs to training, family, and recovery. A consistent four-day schedule gives our youth more time with their families while maintaining empowered progress in academics and sport.
The breadth
How we connect with scholar-athletes.
Guided intuitive revelation and development: our teachers, mentors, and coaches connect through the full width of a fulfilled life.
Electives

Every elective is taught by someone who lived it. A few from the catalog:

A verifiable academic foundation.
Great Hearts partnership
Our academic core runs on a partnership with Great Hearts, the classical education network Phoenix families already know and trust.
Grades 3-12
One place carries a student from the early years through graduation: one culture, one language, one family.
Covered by ESA
Pródos is an approved Arizona ESA Vendor, and we currently offer what we provide strictly for the cost of ESA funding and minimal registration fees.
For most families, Arizona’s ESA program covers all of this.
