 Cheyenne was established in response to community desire to have a "back to basics" or traditional school. The core philosophy is academics and less pull out class time.
At Cheyenne, learning and maximum class time go hand in hand. Cheyenne administrators benchmarked other traditional schools in the valley and modeled Cheyenne's curriculum from the schools.
At the forefront of the traditional school curriculum are the Spalding Language Arts and Saxon Mathematics programs. Spalding provides students with a total language approach because it integrates instruction in listening, speaking, spelling, writing, and reading. The Saxon philosophy believes that the most effective way for students to learn is through gentle development of concepts and the practice of those concepts extended over a considerable period of time. These two programs are essential building blocks for the foundation of teaching language arts and mathematics.
 There are maximum class sizes in each grade. Cheyenne stresses participation and support for the school's philosophy from each family. Parents enrolling their children at Cheyenne sign an Informed Statement of Support for the programs offered at Cheyenne.
