Thank you for your interest in Arete Academy. Our enrollment process is designed to ensure we are the right learning environment for your family. We are a year-round school with open enrollment as space permits. Please review the application process below, and feel free to reach out to Jackie at [email protected] if you have any questions or call (757)419-9014.
Enrollment is now open to students ages 5 through 18 for the 2026-2027 school year for all locations.
At Arete Academy, we believe education should never be one-size-fits-all. Every child and every family has different needs, rhythms, and goals, which is why we offer a range of enrollment options. Whether a student thrives in a full-time environment, benefits from a part-time schedule, joins us for Friday Enrichment, or participates during the summer, each option provides meaningful, leader-driven experiences. This flexibility allows families to choose what works best for them while still giving their children the opportunity to grow in independence, confidence, and real-world capability.

Enrichment Fridays give homeschool students the opportunity to be part of a vibrant, in-person community one day each week. On campus, students collaborate on self-selected projects, engage in group challenges, and practice the communication, teamwork, and leadership that grow through shared experiences. Just as important, they build real connections, forming friendships that extend beyond our school and often last for years. It’s a meaningful way to combine the flexibility of homeschooling with the social growth and community that help children thrive.
Our summer program gives students a chance to experience a passion-driven education without committing to the full year. Each morning, learners spend two focused hours working on self-chosen reading, writing, and math, building both skills and confidence at their own pace. Afternoons shift into hands-on, self-directed projects where curiosity takes the lead. This balance helps students reconnect with learning in a meaningful way, so they don’t just keep up, they begin to take ownership and even love the process.
