At Areté, students
don’t just jump through hoops. We guide our learners on a journey of
critical reading, informed writing (again and again), and agile argumentation,
with a healthy dose of fun along the way. Small, hands-on interactive seminars
up the ante for genuine challenge and lively, rich engagement. Our close-knit,
supportive milieu, rich with opportunities for individual exploration,
encourages high-achieving students to become more than rule followers and
“excellent sheep.” Students learn to reason for themselves, developing
their own unique intellectual identities in a culture that rewards risk taking
and celebrates provocative thinking.
The school’s
innovative Great Ideas curriculum combines history, philosophy and the social
sciences to address the perennial questions of human existence. This carefully
planned, cross-disciplinary program introduces students to the important issues
in Western and non-Western thought, encouraging the use of historical and
contemporary examples to support students' own emergent philosophical
positions. Our Eudaimonia Program raises the bar for high-achieving math and
science students, offering accelerated curriculum and in-depth, long-term
laboratory exploration.
Areté’s college
preparatory program harnesses students’ passions to create future innovators
and game-changers, equipped to lead in a world that demands nimble problem
solving and creative ingenuity. Driven by a genuine love of learning, our
graduates excel in higher education; 90% are accepted to their first-choice
colleges and universities.
