The mission of Las Puertas is to establish a learning community which assures that all students are college ready, successful in their postsecondary endeavors, and contributing members of the community.
We know that the keys to creating a positive learning environment are to:
We also know that people succeed better when they:
Our approach to education is designed to respond to all of these and create a learning environment that is highly rigorous, relevant to the lives of our students and where StrengthBuilding relationships are the norm.
StrengthBuilding is a process for working with people to create positive change and achieve their goals. StrengthBuilding changes how people relate to one another.
It teaches us how to focus on what the individual can accomplish, how strengths
can be used in positive ways.
Everyone is born with strengths. Sometimes that’s hard to remember when all we ever talk about is what’s wrong with our world and the people around us. StrengthBuilding challenges us to focus on the strengths of the individual…on our own strengths.
At Las Puertas, StrengthBuilding will define how school staff interacts with students, families and each other. The school will be a place of warmth and support. We will have high expectations for everyone, staff and students alike. We will help you to accomplish your goals and be as excited as you are when you do!
Interested in coming to Las Puertas or sending your child to us? We are interested in you!

We are looking forward to speaking with you and providing more details regarding Las Puertas.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
The Arizona Department of Education has started the process of giving “grades” to schools again. They stopped for two years when the new state test, the AZMerit, was initiated.
Grades are based only upon the scores on the AzMerit and the AIMS Science tests given in the Spring each year. Based upon these scores from last school year, Las Puertas was listed for school year 2016-2017 as an “F” grade school in late April of this year.
The Las Puertas staff started meeting last Spring to begin the process of making important changes that would help our students be more successful on the AzMerit tests. As a result, the initial grade report for the current year indicates that our grades have already considerably improved and we feel optimistic that our grade for the 2017-2018 school year will take Las Puertas out of the “F” category. Our dedicated staff remains committed to providing a strong and powerful educational experience for every student and it is our expectation that we will be posting a higher grade in the Fall of 2018.
