Arete Giving Day
Parents, mark your calendars! November 28 
will be the Second Annual Arete Giving Day!
On this special day we encourage all Arete Prep families to give to our Community Investment Campaign. This campaign supports our teachers' salaries, allows for small class sizes and enriches our curriculum with language, art, drama and music.  
More details to come!
Tokens of Appreciation
We all love tokens of appreciation; a pledge or a one-time gift to our Community Investment Campaign is a way for our families to give back  to Arete Prep and show your child's teachers your appreciation. Thank you to all families who support this campaign. If you have not given to Community Investment, please do so   HERE. Give a monthly donation or a one-time gift in an amount that works for your family.  By doing so, you will help Arete Prep provide the private-like classical education you chose for your student.
 Our donor list is growing every day, so make sure your name is on it!  In return, we will have a token of appreciation for you at the front desk for all donors.

An Evening with Harlan Cohen.   Harlan is a New York Times bestselling author, a nationally syndicated advice columnist, and speaker.  Harlan's presentation will be on finding the right college fit, and how to best transition from high school to college.
