My experience at Arete Prep Great Hearts Academy has been the best experience I could ask for. I really like that it is a small school because it gives people the chance to play on sports teams and tje community within the school is very close. All the teachers know each of their students well and we are overall a big family. Even though the academics are very challenging due to the fact that it is an all honors school, it has definitely allowed me to grow in my learning and as a person. I am especially am grateful for a class that I take called Humane Letters because it has especillay allowed me to become more comfortable with talking in front of people and speaking my mind. In this class, we read all the classic books of history and have two hour discussions on the difficult questions in the book. I am also grateful for the advances math and science classes because they are very challenging and have prepared me well for college. I am grateful for my excellent teachers in life.
At first I was kind of annoyed to have to wear a uniform every day and not to be able to express myself through my clothing, but quickly after I started attending arete, I understood why. Arete has given me such amazing opportunities through the mentor program all they way to the amazing college counselors that they have. With Arete being a smaller school it really helps you to build a community and gain friends very quickly. Through reading all the classical books, I have relied some very deep thoughts and was able to argue points and ideas in the humane letters classes. All the teaches give a welcoming smile to all the student and show that they do care about each and every student that they teach. They offer free tutoring for every student regardless if they are their teacher or not. Arete is a very welcoming school an I love being able to call my self an Arete Charger.
I love my school. I confess when my parents enrolled me here, I wasn't thrilled initially. Now I know I wouldn't have been this successful anywhere else. The teachers give individualized attention to students, the classes are small and personal and the kids that go here all have the same goals as well as morals and values. When other kids talk about their public schools, I can't believe some of the things that happen there. Arete is the best school ever, and I'm proud to be a graduating student this year. I have much to thank them for.
