PPEP TEC High Schools is a set of 11 charter high schools located across Arizona. They are publicly financed and their goal is to provide an alternative educational program for students aged 15–21, grades 9-12. PPEP TEC High Schools is an affiliate of PPEP, Inc.[4]

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 small student-to-teacher ratio.

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

Locations

There are a total of 11 charter high schools across Arizona.[6]
