Established in 1999, Civano Community School, centers its focus on the whole child. Our motto – “Where Children Want to Learn” – creates an experience that is founded on the guiding principles:
- curiosity
- tenacity and grit
- collaboration
- stewardship
At Civano Community School our students learn to be positive citizens in our society through a diverse way of 
experiences. Students interact and collaborate, problem solve, take into account their questioning skills, and are guided by expert, caring faculty and staff members.
Teachers regularly focus on:
- blending ages and levels to provide continuous learning
- opportunities for real-life learning and problem-solving
- community involvement
- focusing on genuine assessments
- understand that learning involves wondering, dreaming, playing, interacting, communicating, exploring, discovering, questioning, investigating, creating, and risk-taking.
