Why CFSD?
Arizona’s Only All-A School District
Catalina Foothills School District (CFSD) is proud to be the only district in Arizona where every single school has earned an “A” rating from the Arizona Department of Education. This rare distinction reflects our unwavering commitment to academic excellence, innovative teaching, and whole-child success from PreK through 12th grade.
Excellence Begins in Kindergarten—And Earlier!
We believe a world-class education starts early and grows with every child. At CFSD, students have access to music, art, world languages, physical education, and robotics beginning in kindergarten—ensuring they are engaged, challenged, and inspired from day one. Our curriculum blends rigorous academics with hands-on learning, setting students up not just for school success, but for lifelong achievement.
Want to give your child a jump-start? Our Valley View Early Learning Center offers a nationally accredited PreK program grounded in play-based learning, creativity, and discovery.
A Legacy of Innovation, A Future of Opportunity
CFSD began in 1931 with just nine students learning in a garage. Today, we serve more than 5,000 students across eight high-performing schools—each one rooted in community values and focused on preparing students for a dynamic global future. From STEM and robotics to visual and performing arts, language immersion, and college and career pathways, CFSD offers opportunities at every turn.
Don’t miss a moment—see what’s coming up on our district calendar.
