Testimonials

“Arete was a great experience for me. I found a new version of myself. It gave me opportunities I wouldn't have had in the traditional school atmosphere. I personally am an A student so I have to work hard to maintain my current GPA. I would recommend Arete for any creative mind that is searching for an alternative learning style that can help them hone their skills and find new abilities in themselves that they had not known of before.”

“Arete PBL is a blast!  I really looked forward to coming to school everyday because of it! I really liked doing Genius Hour, and how every Thursday we got to spend a whole mod doing a project on what we loved. I also liked the fact that we got to see our friends everyday in the core classes. Before Arete I didn't really have anyone to talk to, but once I was in Arete I made a lot of friends. The kids and teachers of Arete are like a family, and I feel like I could tell them anything. If you want to try something new, try Arete PBL. You won't be disappointed!”  Matthew R. class of 2018

“Arete is a great experience and teaches you many skills that you may have never know you had. It teaches you how to lead, organize events, and send professional emails. PBL helps you show how creative your mind really is and what you can accomplish all by yourself or in big group projects.

“I was accepted into the Arete Project-Based Learning program that requires presentations in front of large groups and constantly working with others In those two years, I was pushed to do things I would typically never do because of my shyness. My shyness was what motivated me through the years to help overcome the barriers I created, allowing me to speak to people with little to no problem. The key to figuring out life has never been a tangible object that one can study and master for a test: it is something that needs to be done by doing.”  Alyssa R. class of 2018
