Carpe Diem e-Learning Community

Carpe Diem e-Learning Community is a charter school for grades 6–12 in Yuma, Arizona.

It began as a traditional charter school in 2000, but on losing its building lease, and forced into smaller premises, a blended learning model was developed that caps the middle and high schools in Yuma at 300 students each.

There is a 75:1 ratio of students to specialist teachers, but the shortfall is made up from non certified teaching assistants and coaches.

A fully online curriculum is also available, and students work on computers, both in the school and externally, using Edgenuity e-learning software.

In January 2020, the school announced its decision to abandon its high school and continue solely as a middle school.
