Arizona Autism Charter School (AZACS) is the first tuition-free, public charter school in Arizona focused on the educational needs of children with autism. The school's primary focus is to use the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to support students' behavioral needs and help them access state instructional standards to the best of their ability. AZACS was unanimously approved through the 12th grade by the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools, and is currently serving grades K-9 in Metro Phoenix. AZACS is growing by one grade level each year and will be serving up to the 12th grade by 2022.
