Thank you, families, for joining us on this historic journey. Never before in our academy's history have we asked parents and teachers to so drastically change our approach to educating our children. There will naturally be some bumps along the way, but our community has been courageous and flexible in our efforts to make sure all of our kids keep learning. So that we can keep in mind your unique point of view in the weeks and months ahead, please take the time to complete this survey, once for each child, by Wednesday, September 16th at noon.  

Archway Arete K-5th grade athletics is back! We will hold sessions in Fall Basketball, Soccer, Flag Football, and Spring Basketball.

Practice will be held 3:15-4:15 pm on Thursdays of 9/10, 9/17, 10/1, 10/15, 10/29, 11/5, 11/12. Due to Covid-19, tournament play has been suspended until further notice. Register here to sign up.
