Areté Preparatory Academy

The 2020-2021 school year has been one for the record books. We wanted to take a moment to acknowledge every Areté student for their resilience, fortitude and ability to pivot from a traditional in-school model to a remote learning environment within a matter of days. Instead of checking out, they leaned in and formed a deeper sense of community while distance learning - a true testament to their character, level of educational commitment and passion for learning. We are going to miss your Zoom faces over the summer and look forward to seeing you all again come fall.

We wish the graduating Class of 2021 nothing but the best as they embark on new adventures and pursue higher education. This year was full of challenges and adversity beyond imagination and they took it all in stride. We will miss each and every one of them and their unique individualism that contributed so much to the Arete community.

There was so much to celebrate with all they've accomplished, such a great milestone. We will surely miss all of them!

Our last park day of the school year! Areté students enjoyed a variety of activities such as working on their final papers in the open air to training to be a Jedi. Teachers Brian and Ethan surprised students by bringing a giant conical mirror and instructed students to draw an image that they could then burn using the focus of the reflective light, applying math and science to the entire experiment.
