Frequently Asked Question
Most commonly asked questions from our families
What is a charter school?
Is ALP tuition free?
What’s the difference between half-day kindergarten and full-day kindergarten?
Half-day: No Charge
The state of Arizona covers funding for free half-day kindergarten. Students who participate in our half-day program will be at school for lunch. Students must be picked up no later than 1:00.
Full-day Kindergarten: $425/month (SY25-26)
The state of Arizona covers the funding for a half-day kindergarten at this rate, so we have adopted this rate to extend the school day and allow us to cover our staffing and operations costs. Given our trilingual immersion model, it is critical for our students to attend a full-day program to have more time to spend in all three languages.
What are the school hours?
What is the age requirement for kindergarten?
Is there a dress code?
Yes, our dress code ensures an atmosphere conducive to student learning and free from unnecessary distractions. Our Dress Code Policy can be found in our Family Handbooks, or you can visit our Dress Code & Uniform Policy page for more information.
