Since 1976, Bostrom has provided opportunities for students to find success in a small school environment that focuses on academic achievement in reading, writing, and math as well as helping students develop appropriate social and interpersonal skills. Bostrom is structured and disciplined, with a concentrated focus on academic success. We have outstanding staff members who care, and who hold each student (and parent) accountable for his/her education. Bostrom is available to 10th, 11th and 12th graders who reside in the Phoenix Union High School District. Instruction is delivered in six-week sessions in which students concentrate on two block classes at a time. Regular and Special Education students may take classes in Math, English, Social Studies, Science and some elective classes. Students that are eligible may attend Evening School. Students are selected for admission based on an application and interview process and parents must attend a mandatory orientation.
