Meet Our Team
At Arrows, we truly take a team approach in leading your students on their educational journey. Understanding our different roles, we value the experiences, knowledge and wisdom deposited within each member.
Nanmarie Hockstra
Head of School
As a native of Northern Virginia and now a parent here raising four children, I understand firsthand the desire many Christian parents have to both educate their children's minds, but also their hearts.
​
While our children are facing challenges we as parents may have never dealt with, we have the unique, God-given responsibility to raise them up in the knowledge of Him.
​
Arrows Christian School seeks to come alongside parents in those foundational years, and partner with them in raising up the next generation to be confident individuals--leaders in whatever field or calling God has destined for them.​
Pray about joining us on this new adventure!
