The focus of the schools are on high academic standards, technology and school-to-work programs. Because it is a public school, all students from ages 15–21 may attend. PPEP specializes in helping sons and daughters of migrant and seasonal farmworkers in rural Arizona, at-risk students, high school dropouts or students who are in employment.[5]

Philosophy & Background

PPEP TEC High Schools offer a self-paced curriculum that allows students to progress through courses on an individual level. Classes typically offer a low student-to-teacher ratio.

Students receive a high school diploma and are held to the same Arizona academic standards and assessments as other schools in Arizona. Education through PPEP TEC is free for all students.
