National Board Certified Teachers

Certification in Kyrene

Kyrene supports the National Board Certification process by offering in house pre-candidacy classes using the curriculum developed by the Arizona K12 Center. During candidacy, monthly support meetings are held in Kyrene with a NBCT specially trained in facilitating candidates through the process. Once the certification is achieved, Kyrene awards an additional stipend amount in the teacher's contract for the life of the certificate. 

A+ Schools of Excellence

11 Kyrene Schools have the A+ School of Excellence™ designation.

The Arizona Educational Foundation (AEF) awards the coveted A+ School of Excellence™ award to select public schools each year. AEF has identified and honored exemplary pre-kindergarten through 12th grade public schools in Arizona since 1983.
