Click on “Get Started” in the menu to fill out the form. A staff member will contact you soon to guide you on the next steps.
Our classrooms tend to be smaller than a traditional high school and while in school, students are immersed in a blended learning environment. What this means is that for their English and Math classes students will be in a traditional teacher-led classroom, similar to what you see in a traditional high school. For the rest of the time, students are in a lab environment working at their own pace through the rest of the classes. In the labs, there is a teacher to provide one-on-one support.
Students attend school for four hours a day Monday-Friday. You’ll have the option to attend our morning or afternoon session.
For those students who cannot attend regularly, we have the OMB Online Academy which provides greater schedule flexibility.
Testimonials
I’ve been a student at Ombudsman for 3 great years and it’s the best decision I’ve made for my High School career. I’ve attended some of Arizona’s best schools. Although I’ve attended great schools, I was still missing something. I was missing one on one help and a way to attend school with such a busy schedule. That’s what brought me to Ombudsman. I chose Ombudsman to receive the one-on-one help from teachers and staff that larger class sizes did not give me. Ombudsman provided me with flexible schedules and the choice to attend school in the AM or PM.
The reason why I chose Ombudsman was because I was having trouble with working and passing my classes. I wasn’t able to balance my schoolwork and personal life. Ombudsman was there for me and helped with my classes by having flexible schedule for school. Ombudsman has great staff and teachers who care about their students and support them in their goals in life.

Principal's Letter
Greetings Students and Parents,
On behalf of the Ombudsman Northeast faculty and staff, welcome to the 24-25 school year! We’ve missed our students and look forward to seeing everyone when we return to school on Tuesday, August 13th.
Ombudsman Northeast is a fully accredited public charter high school located north of the ASU Main campus in Tempe. We emphasize relationship building between school and home as part of our mission to create individualized plans for student success. Our caring and knowledgeable staff understand that each student has their own unique needs and that all students have the potential to earn a diploma with the right support. Students attend a four-hour school day, Monday through Friday, in a blended learning model combining teacher-led instruction and computer-based courses. Personalized graduation plans help students recover lost credits, accelerate graduation, or accommodate vocational programs like EVIT and community college classes. Outside of their daily four-hour session, students have the opportunity to earn professional certifications on-site in our NHA accredited medical assistant, pharmacy tech, and medical billing and coding programs as well as C-Tech network cabling classes. If you would like to schedule a tour or ask questions about the great things we do, please call 602-485-9872.
We will be holding an open house on August 12th from 12:00-4:00 PM and would love to see you there to meet staff, ask questions, take a peek at Edmentum, and check out the medical classroom. If you have family or friends who would like to know more about Ombudsman, this is a great opportunity for them to come on in and learn about OMB Northeast. Our new neighbors, Eternal Dance Company will also be hosting an open house the same night so you can get a peek at their beautiful new space and see what they do too.
We look forward to seeing you all on August 12th and our first day of school on August 13th,
Sara Garcia
Principal, Ombudsman Northeast High School
