“In today’s world, everyone needs to be entrepreneurial. Not entrepreneurial in the sense of starting a for-profit business but in the sense of fighting tirelessly to improve your world through your skills, passions, perseverance, audacity, and community support. It’s the essence of our humanity—to create, to invent, to make our world better. Giving students and teachers the support and permission to be creative and entrepreneurial isn’t optional in the twenty-first century—it’s indispensable.”

Creo’s bilingual Adolescent program involves hands-on learning accompanying their scholastic learning emphasizing zoology and agricultural studies. Adolescent students learn how to create and sustain a working micro-economy. This instills responsibility as well as present opportunities to take the knowledge that students gain in the classroom by applying it in the environment around them.
As respected community members, it is important for each student to learn to do their part and contribute in a way that earns trust and companionship of their peers. Therefore, Creo Adolescent students work cohesively to overcome obstacles, learn from each other, and drive to meet common goals while expressing individuality. Our students start small businesses, design inventions and file patents, develop software programs, or performances through play write, designing their own costumes and scenes, casting roles and acting.
‘Going-outs’ also pose integral education experiences for our learners, with organized tours of manufacturing plants, museum visits, hiking adventures, geological based science experiments, as well as local, national, and international community service initiatives.
The Creo Farm campus is also strategically located near Gilbert/Chandler Community College. High School students are able to take college classes to complete undergraduate credits prior to graduation. With transportation services back and forth, High School students are supported, gaining a head start in their fields of interest with counsel from our highly qualified educators.
