Alternative Maricopa High School

At Student Choice High School, we provide a supportive, tuition–free alternative to traditional Maricopa high schools. Focused on helping students finish strong, our campus is an ideal choice for families seeking a dropout recovery path or a flexible learning environment. Here, students receive personalized support and a clear, achievable pathway to graduation.

About SCHS Maricopa Campus

Our Maricopa Campus is part of a network of alternative high school locations across Arizona, serving students from freshman through senior year. Here, students attend scheduled sessions and engage with a free, standards-based online curriculum supervised by certified staff. This blended model offers a daily session from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., providing structured learning time and personalized classroom guidance.

This campus is also home to a dedicated Credit Recovery Program, supporting students who have been out of school or fallen behind on credits. Many students at our Maricopa location use this program to recover lost credits, rebuild academic confidence, and pursue an accredited high school diploma, a crucial step that opens doors to college, career training, the military, or full-time work.

Academic Programs at Our Maricopa Campus

Our Maricopa Campus offers programs tailored to students seeking alternative high school education and dropout recovery:

Traditional Alternative Education

Our Traditional Alternative Education program provides a blended learning experience that combines online curriculum with on-site teacher guidance. Students participate in focused instructional blocks, work at a pace that matches their learning needs, and receive individualized assistance from certified instructors. This format supports students who may not have found success in larger, traditional high schools and prefer a more personalized, supportive environment.

Credit Recovery Program

The Credit Recovery Program at our Maricopa campus serves students who have spent time away from school or need a tailored academic pathway. In this program, students focus on the specific courses needed to catch up on credits and make consistent progress toward graduation. With small class sizes and individualized planning, students can rebuild their academic momentum and complete required coursework with dedicated instruction from experienced educators.
