01

Schedule a meeting and a tour with our Leadership Team

The 2e world includes a number of different learning profiles, academic strengths, talents, and differences in social/emotional development. Frankly, there isn't a single form detailed enough for us to really get to know a student.

​

An initial meeting and a tour of the school building often takes 30-45 minutes.

02

Submit relevant 

paperwork

We ask families to submit any evaluation reports, IEP/504 documentation, or other documents that will help us understand your child better. This may include report cards and standardized test results.

​

If you are unsure of what types of documents might be helpful, don't worry- that's a part of the meeting and tour with the Leadership Team.

03

References and Release of Information

Families should identfiy three or four professionals and/or educators who you feel have a good understanding of who your child is and their learning needs.

​

Commonly listed professionals:

​

• Therapist/counselor

• Evaluating professional

• Past teachers

• Past school counselors

Shadow Days

Spending time at Arete allows students to interact with current students, experience school expectations and the community as a whole. Students can also provide feedback to their families about their comfort and readiness to try a new school environment.

​

School visits provide an opportunity for teachers to get to know each prospective student on a more personal level and best determine if Arete can meet their social/emotional and academic needs.
