About Peoria

We are a free, public charter K-8 school with a family-like feel, and our staff members have worked together for many years. We frequently host parent and family events, and pride ourselves on creating a caring, supportive environment that also asks the best from our students. We emphasize skill-level education with individualized instruction.

We provide a rigorous, college prep, STEM-focused education. We emphasize a scientific approach, hands-on work, computer literacy and the ability of students to use data and articulate a thesis.

What Our Parents Say

At this school all students learn at their level. My daughter is in 4th grade, but goes to 6th grade for math. They never put a limit on what a student can achieve.

All the teachers I’ve encountered are very good at what they do. I have 2 children at the school and & have been attending SSA-Peoria for two years. In our experience, the teachers are excellent.

The administrators, teachers, and staff encourage students to treat each other with respect and kindness.
