Our Mission
Arete Academy of Exceptional Education is committed to partnering with students, parents and the community to provide a nurturing environment for gifted students who learn differently. At Arete, each student’s unique gifts are recognized and celebrated, and their learning differences are accepted and supported. Students experience a sense of belonging and build self-esteem through programming focused on strength-based learning, flexibility, educational technology and a commitment to embracing the whole child. We strive to meet each student’s academic, social and emotional needs, encouraging them to reach their full potential and apply their gifts to make lasting contributions to their community.
