I have been extremely impressed with Arches Academy. As a single mom, one of the best feelings is knowing that my children are in the best of hands when they aren't with me. My son has a passion for learning and soaks everything up like a sponge. The staff is friendly, accommodating, respectful, and knowledgeable. They know all of students and the students all know each other. It's not only providing a personalized education for my kid(s), but it's an excellent community.

We love Arches Academy. Our kids have grown so much and the teachers truly love and appreciate every student. The kids have so many fun activities mixed in with their curriculum. In fact, we just got back from the kids second field trip of the year and there are so many more to come.

Absolutely amazing school. It feels like a family, and all of my kids who have attended Arches thrived in that setting. The teachers are phenomenal and enable each child to excel the standards. This is a school that truly cares. And, for a private school, you can not beat the price!

I enrolled my daughter to Arches Academy for the Singapore math and small size classes. However, we received more than that. The field trips, 7 habits (Stephen Covey), the school atmosphere, the students' performances (Gala & Christmas concert), other activities like science fair are more than what I expected initially. My daughter loves going to school everyday. She is a bit advance in reading, and the school places her in her reading level, so she progresses nicely in her own pace. We're very grateful to find Arches Academy.

Our children have thrived at Arches. The small classes and challenging curriculum have helped them develop interests they might not have developed without the teachers at Arches. They've been challenged to do work beyond 'grade level'. They've had the opportunity to travel to different parts of the state and learn hands on about dinosaurs, history, Native Americans, things they could learn in the classroom, but the hands on experience has been very valuable and interesting for them. Every year the school produces a play that has drawn our children in to areas they would not have explored otherwise

Arches continues to impress. This is our 4th or 5th year (I'm losing track). They have new computers this year and are growing. My kids love the field trips and the hands on learning. They put the kids in classes at the level they are at -- not based on age. They are very thorough in their start of year evaluations of the students to make sure the kids are in the right class. Max class size is 18 (ignore the review claiming otherwise).
I've seen a comment about teacher turnover and thought I'd comment on what I've seen as a parent. It's a small school and so when
