Traditional School Interest Survey In an effort to offer parents a choice in their child’s education, J.O. Combs Unified School District is considering a Traditional School Academy for grades K-5 at our Combs & Gantzel Campus, beginning in August 2010. We are creating a list of families throughout the San Tan Valley area who might be interested in enrolling. The Academy will have a “Back to Basics” approach using curricular materials that promote a direct instruction model in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. In keeping with the J.O. Combs focus on excellence and skilled, accomplished personnel, the Academy will be staffed with highly qualified teachers, trained to use specific instructional materials, such as the Spalding Language Arts Instructional Approach, in a very structured, rigorous learning environment. If you are interested in the Traditional School option for your child(ren), please take a few moments to complete our brief survey by clicking on the link below.
