Osborn School District #8
Join Us In
"Delivering Quality Education Since 1879"
About Osborn:
Osborn School was one of Arizona's first schools, founded in 1879 to educate a few dozen pioneer children. Through the years it has changed dramatically. Today, 4,000 children attend its six schools, located in central Phoenix. Osborn has become a truly multicultural and multilingual district; more than 21 countries are represented on its campuses, with a majority of the children from the U.S., Mexico, Vietnam and Bosnia.
Osborn schools are on the cutting edge of education, with computers in every classroom, an outstanding curriculum, teacher collaboration at every grade level and an emphasis on student success; however additional funds are needed for extra curricular/after school programs. These activities are critical for the students we serve.
Children are our future leaders. We invite you to join us to help Osborn students become the leaders we need for the 21st Century.
