Gilbert Arts Academy is a tuition-FREE, STEM-focused public charter school located in the heart of Mesa's Falcon District at 2929 E McKellips Rd. We are a safe, small school where your child becomes successful—in and beyond elementary school. Serving grades K-8, we are proud members of Leona Group Schools and are Cognia accredited.
Our mission is to provide the foundation for educational opportunities for students to reach their highest potentials. We will do this as we provide an engaging curriculum, empower character development, provide a variety of enriching expressions for creativity, and encompass community.
It is the vision of our school through a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment to help each and every child realize his or her full potential, develop a passion for learning, a desire to excel, and the determination to become a productive and responsible citizen.
At Gilbert Arts Academy, we believe that ALL students can succeed. Our caring teachers foster creativity and exploration in classrooms where collaboration and respect are the foundation of everything we do.
We are a safe, small school where your child becomes successful—in and beyond elementary school.
