Our Approach
Arrows provides a Christian education with a classical emphasis that is both practical and applicable for the next generation.
FAITH FIRST: All aspects of our program are built on the foundation of our faith in Christ Jesus and the Truth of His Word. Motivated by Jesus' love for us, we will daily challenge our students to know Christ and live for Him.
ACADEMICS: To that end, ACS seeks to provide a solid, educational foundation that equips our students to develop a love of learning--for life.
CHARACTER: As students gain knowledge, ACS seeks to inspire our students onto maturity through the pursuit of wisdom and development of character in and outside the classroom.
WHOLE PERSON: As our students discover their unique, God-given talents and abilities, we will encourage them to cultivate those gifts--whatever they may be--and grow up to glorify their Maker and fulfill their destiny in Him.
Curriculum
Reading: Our phonics-based curriculum provides a solid foundation for our youngest students to grow into confident readers. We also weave classical literature into our curriculum.
Writing: No matter what field your student pursues, being equipped to communicate well through the written word is a must. Beginning with an understanding of basic English grammar, students will move from creating organized sentences to crafting well-formatted paragraphs. They will work their way toward producing carefully thought-out essays.
Numerical Fluency: With an understanding of what is needed for higher level math, we work backward to ensure our students are equipped with strong computational skills and numerical fluency necessary to excel in basic and upper levels of arithmetic.
Critical Thinking: By studying Logic and participating in discussion-based classes, our students learn how to be discerning and think for themselves.
Worldview: ACS is passionate about equipping its students with an understanding of the knowledge and wisdom only found in God's Word. Passing on a Biblical Christian worldview is foundational to our program.
Well-Rounded: As a Christian school, we seek to educate the mind and nurture the body, soul and spirit. We recognize there are valuable lessons to be learned in chapel, in the art or music lab, and on the playground and ballfields.
