The Phoenix School

Learning is everywhere and incorporated into every facet of a Phoenix education. Students, teachers, and parents are partners in the educational journey.

Essential skills are integrated into topics introduced into our flexible, mixed-age environment that breaks the traditional walls between school, home, and the community.

Phoenix educators are not just math or science teachers, but experts in student academic motivation, creating effective habits, and student empowerment. We hire top-performing educators who think outside the box and know that there is a learning opportunity everywhere.  

We know children are instinctual learners, and we value their leadership and partnership in their educational path. Here, students are full partners in their own education, parents are their integral partners, and every child is known and understood by their educators.

Our flexible, mixed-age environment breaks the traditional walls between school, home, and the community. A Phoenix education nurtures creative growth, tenacity, and citizenship. Which in turn develops caring, self confident, inquisitive, competent individuals responsive to a changing, complex world. 

We believe a personalized education supports a love of learning and provides academic growth without boundaries. Our K-8 immersive partnership experience cultivates leadership and problem-solving skills, while our project-based learning spanning all subjects gives students the opportunity to think deeply on topics of interest. 

A Phoenix education is not limited by its four walls. Our students venture out in the world to use the rich resources of the community, near and far.

Our home base is just over 3,000 ft. at 28 Goodhue St. in Salem, at the edge of the downtown within walking distance to the Commuter Rail, Salem Library, Mack Park, Community Life Center, Salem YMCA, Peabody Essex Museum, and Salem Common, and other community resources. 

Rather than a campus that provides all the facilities needed for the curriculum, we have chosen to integrate the world around us, near and far, into our campus. We utilize the community to fulfill our educational mission.

Innovation, collaboration, critical thinking, global citizenship, and problem solving skills are at the forefront of our program. We provide a strong academic foundation, ensuring that our students continue to thrive in high school, college and beyond.
