Chandler charter celebrates success, expansion A Spring Spectacular Day of Discovery is on tap
at Athlos Traditional Academy’s Chandler campus from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sat., May 5 to celebrate the conclusion of its first school year and the expansion of the campus for the upcoming school year.
The event will feature craft making and cultural
expositions from around the globe, including dances from Native American, Hispanic, African, American and Asian cultures. Entry cost is $5. Athlos Traditional, a tuition-free, K-8 charter
school, is expanding to meet demand for the 2012-13 school year, increasing enrollment to nearly 1,300 for the new school year. Spaces at the school are limited but still available; open enrollment is currently underway. According to Athlos Traditional Principal Dr. Dana Croatt, the school is in high demand for its focus on an accelerated, back-to-basics learning environment that actively promotes positive health habits, physical fitness and rigorous academics. “This first year at Athlos has been absolutely
incredible,” says Croatt. “This year alone, over 100 students transferred to our school after the first day.”
Athlos Traditional is part of the Legacy
Traditional School District, which is expanding several of its other campuses and building a new school in Laveen. Athlos Traditional Academy is at 3201 S. Gilbert Rd., on the southeast corner of Gilbert and Queen Creek roads in Chandler. For more information or to schedule a tour, call 480-270-5422 or visit
