Yes, my daughter, who is in 8th grade attends New School of the Arts Middle School in Tempe, it's located on Apache Blvd. & East of Rural Rd. They offer a variety of arts programs. My daughter loves the school and her grades are always good. However, she is one of those students that doesn't have to study and the lessons come easy for her. One items to note is that it is an "arts" performing school and the student do express themselves.... (i.e. clothing, hair, etc.). The light rail will be available beginning Dec. 27th which goes right in front of the school. This could be a helpful transportation mode depending on where you live. Searching for a good school fit for your child can be exhausting, but hang in there... There are many options. Hope this helps and Best of Luck!

Have you tried doing a "google search" and see what it says for "Arizona charter schools?" I'm not from AZ, so I don't know what's "in the valley" but you might use that as a starting point in your search, and then contact each to find out if they have an arts emphasis.
