The Academy at Superstition – Opening for the 2025-2026 School Year

Building Thinkers for a Future We Can’t Yet Imagine. 

At The Academy at Superstition, we’re doing more than teaching students to memorize facts—we’re preparing them to adapt, innovate, and thrive in a world we can’t fully predict.

Our curriculum honors the enduring strength of classical education—deep literacy, mathematical fluency, historical perspective, and logical reasoning—while equipping students with the skills to lead in the age of AI, automation, and exponential change.

Because our students won’t just compete in tomorrow’s economy. They’ll shape it.

 

What Sets The Academy Apart?

  • Strong Foundations, Elevated

We start with the essentials—reading, writing, math, and critical thinking—then expand into deeper inquiry and application across all content areas.

  • Future-Ready Learning

Students learn how to think, not what to think—developing adaptability, digital literacy, and resilience in a tech-driven world.

  • Human Intelligence in the Age of AI

As machines get smarter, our goal is to make kids irreplaceable. We emphasize uniquely human skills: ethical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and persuasive communication.

  • Modern Tools, Classical Values

Technology is integrated with purpose—not as a gimmick, but as a tool to explore ideas, build knowledge, and create original work.

 

A School Designed for the Next Generation of Thinkers

Housed in the revitalized Superstition Mountain Elementary building, The Academy offers a vibrant learning environment rooted in tradition and reimagined for today’s learners.

Whether your child dreams of becoming a writer, coder, entrepreneur, or something the world hasn’t invented yet—they’ll find their start here.

As part of AJUSD’s commitment to providing endless possibilities for students, we recognize the demand for a high-quality, rigorous academic program that challenges young minds and prepares them for future success.
