Superstition Mountain Classical Academy to open in ‘25 in Apache Junction

Superstition Mountain Elementary School, which has been closed since 2015, is reopening in July 2025 with a new name — Superstition Mountain Classical Academy, for grades K-5.

The Apache Junction Unified School District Governing Board on July 23 approved the change in a unanimous vote. Board member Gail Ross voted by phone.

It is the district’s response to the planned opening of a charter school. Great Hearts Academies is to open at Blossom Rock in south Apache Junction in fall 2026.
