So excited to start selling Arete Gear. Sales run September 21-October 5 and items will be manufactured after the sale closes and shipped directly to your house!

Please click on the story to hear about important changes coming to our Breakfast and Lunch service beginning September 8, 2020.

So, so proud of our amazing students. They have persevered during really, really tough times and made it through. It is time to celebrate them! Congrats to the Arete Class of 2020.

You will always be the loveliest part of Arete- “Parts of a Whole”
You will do great things! As one of my favorite authors, Dr. Seuss once said,
“Congratulations!
Today is your day
You're off to great places
You're off and away
Your mountain is waiting
Go, get on your way!”

Do not forget...
