Why Choose PPOA?
Key Benefits of Online Learning
Flexibility for Every Student and Family
One of the most significant advantages of online education is its flexibility. PPOA students can take online classes at their own pace, allowing them to pursue passions like sports, arts, or volunteer work while staying on track academically. This flexibility mirrors the balance achieved by remote workers and busy professionals, giving students the tools to excel in both their academics and personal interests.
For parents, an online school provides the freedom to create a daily schedule that works for their family while ensuring students stay engaged with their coursework. This makes online learning a top choice for busy families.
Blended Learning Opportunities
Although PPOA operates as an online school, we recognize the importance of in-person interaction. That’s why we offer blended learning options, including Community Learning Spaces where students can meet with tutors, participate in group projects, and connect with peers. These opportunities bridge the gap between distance learning and traditional learning, offering the best of both worlds.
Blended learning ensures that PPOA students feel supported academically, socially, and emotionally, giving parents confidence in their child’s overall development.

Premier Prep Online Academy
At Premier Prep Online Academy (PPOA), we took the typical school experience and turned it on its head to meet students where they are—physically, emotionally and academically—to give Arizona students the freedom to work at their own pace, in a space that works best for them, while also pursuing their passions and talents.
Our Program
PPOA is the only free, public school in Arizona to offer a flexible learning schedule and school day in an online environment. Students work closely with an advisor to develop a program customized to their needs. We provide courses through blended and online learning options. We invite you to learn more about our program and how it works.
Scheduling Freedom
PPOA allows students who cannot complete the required instructional minutes Monday through Friday to work on the weekends or when they have extra time throughout the school year. For example, a student who travels for a club basketball team can distribute their instructional minutes before or after their traveling days without being considered absent.
Scheduling freedom creates a sense of personal accountability by allowing students to plan their time to keep up with their courses without the crushing expectation of “make-up” work.

PPOA serves a community of Arizona students with exceptional talents in athletics, music, the arts, equestrian/rodeo, dance, and academics who desire a flexible school day option to succeed both in school and their talent-driven pursuits. Additionally, we serve students who desire to pursue Career and Technical Certifications, concurrent enrollment at colleges or universities, or who want to graduate from high school early.
