1 Best Private High Schools in Arkansas
Alum: Pulaski Academy was a great place for me to ready myself for college. For the first two years of my high school experience I did online schooling, and I had a lot of trouble with learning outside of a classroom setting. Going to Pulaski Academy gave me not only the classroom experience, but the teachers were there to help me in anything that I needed and the material that they taught prepared me for everything that I have faced in college.

5 Best Private High Schools in Arkansas
Parent: The CHS experience begins at orientation were the priest delivers a speech that deserves a standing ovation. Tell your boys NO, Because I said so is a perfectly valid response to why?, and the boys need to be held accountable for their own actions and lives. The CHS experience ends with a no-nonsense 75 minute graduation ceremony - where the principal and bishop speak for about 5 minutes, the rest of the ceremony is run by the graduates. In between they are educated and held responsible. The rules don't bend there are NO exceptions. This sign (goo.gl/jTDVZQ), started at CHS and is representative of the respectful discipline that is the culture. Exercising fiscal responsibility keeps the tuition ridiculously low. If spending money doesn't clearly produce a better education and growing experience - CHS doesn't spend the money. CHS is not "no frills", quite the opposite, what they offer you cannot get anywhere else.

Providence Classical Christian Academy

6 Best Private High Schools in Arkansas
Senior: Providence Classical Christian Academy is a college-preparatory school that incorporates student responsibility effectively. However, the school could improve dramatically by paying the teachers much more. If this were to happen, the teachers who deserve to be paid well for the earnest, hard work they do will be able to support themselves, and the teachers who do not put effort into their lectures or students can be fired. As the school is now, teachers who could make the students’ education better are not applying to work for Providence because of the extremely low wages, so the school scrambles together teachers who are not willing to put effort into their students, but are willing to do the least possible to receive their small paycheck.

Senior: Hi! My name is Bebe and I'm a current senior at Shiloh Christian; I have had a memorable time as a Shiloh Saint and I'd love to share how my high school education and experience at Shiloh has impacted me. Growing up, I have always been ingrained with the belief that the value of a good education is SO important; because of this, I have always had high expectations of not only a challenging academic course, but also a supportive and healthy student atmosphere. And to cut to the point, I definitely believe I received exactly what I expected; with a large friend group and a sufficient amount of college courses to choose from, I am constantly finding myself with a smile on my face. Shiloh Christian has given me not only the opportunity to pursue a higher form of education, but also to maintain a strong set of moral beliefs in integrity and honesty. In summary, I would absolutely recommend this school as it has taught me a plethora of life lessons and prepared me for the future!

Senior: The teachers at Mount St. Mary Academy prepare you well for college. They take the time to work with you during after school hours and make sure to check in on you. The teachers also thoroughly challenge their students especially in the AP and honors classes.
The environment at MSM is very welcoming. The students have a real sisterhood and support one another. In my time there, I never experienced any kind of bullying or negative energy. The students love that the all-girl environment; it is really one of a kind.

High School Sophomore: Because Union is a smaller school, the classes are closer together. At Union, i have formed life long relationships with the students in my class, and I look up to several of the older students. We have a mentoring program where the high school students are paired up with elementary students, and through this program, my friends and I have gotten the opportunity to be a positive influence for these children. The teachers are always there for us, and they are willing to help us with whatever we might be facing. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!

10 Best Private High Schools in Arkansas
Senior: Fayetteville Christian School is a pre-k - high school private school. I have been attending FCS for 13 years. I absolutely love it. Building relationships with both students and staff is easy and so amazing because the school is so small that a senior can easily be friends with one of the 8th graders. The teachers volunteer. They do not get paid with money. The payment they receive is far greater than all of the money in the world. I, along with many other students here, feel as though we can easily go to any of the staff for help in any situation that may occur in life. The academic curriculum at FCS can be considered harder than other curriculums in many other schools. We go into more detail in our grammar classes than many other curriculums. Our high school mathematics classes have been thought of as harder than some first-year college mathematics courses. Therefore, the challenge I have by attending FCS will help me to potentially do very well in college.

I have been blessed with fantastic teachers who have poured into me in all walks of life; I have found lifelong friends who will continue to be there for me whenever things get tough; and, most importantly, I have served an amazing God through the freedoms we are able to express in this school through prayer, classes, and chapel services.

Parent: The teachers, administrators, and faculty members go above and beyond to bring out the best in every child. They genuinely care about and support families in encouraging our children to glorify God and to be all that He has called them to be. We've been very impressed with the respectful, kind manner that discipline is handled and questions are answered. I also hold administrators in high regard when they are willing to step in and substitute for a teacher when necessary. Every member of this ministry team is willing to step in and do whatever it takes to care for every aspect of our children's development. Life Way is a definite blessing!

Alum: GMCS was the school I grew up in. Not only did I receive a wonderful education by some of the best teachers, I learned how to grow my walk with the Lord. This school provides a safe environment and it feels like one big happy family. Not only do they provide education, they also have a wide variety of sports including: Basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball, golf, track, and cheer. They also have a great after school care program that allows some students to work with another teacher once school is dismissed. It has been a joy to see how much it has grown in just the four years I have been away to college. If you send your child here, you will not be disappointed!

Senior: Sacred Heart Catholic school is a small, private school in Morrilton, Arkansas. The faculty and staff are happy to be teaching and working there and they put so much effort into their jobs. Teachers will show up early and stay late to help students having trouble, and classes are in a ratio of about twenty students to one teacher. There is no way you could ever get lost on campus because of its size, and if you do get lost there are more than enough students willing to stop and help you with whatever you need. Classes become close knit families where everyone knows everyone else. It also values Christ's teachings, and students take a special religion class each year to better understand their faith. Not all students are Catholic, 25% of the school is of a different denomination.

I attended CAC for three years so far, and I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in enrolling their child in a private Christian school. The faculty and staff at CAC are very loving, caring, and they devote all of their time to the students. CAC has many programs for students to get involved in; drama, sports, art, and more. Academics are challenging, but very good because of the wonderful teachers.

Alum: My years spent at Trinity are some of the best memories I have. TCS provided a home-like loving environment, great friends, and incredible mentors (their teachers rock!). This school pushed me academically, creatively, and physically. I felt fully prepared for college and am actually doing incredibly well (my gpa is higher now than it was at TCS). The family environment of this school and the support of the teachers made my highschool experience one that I always look back on fondly and even miss from time to time. Highly recommend anyone looking at Trinity to give it a shot! Best decision my family ever made!!

Senior: My experience at Abundant Life school has been well. I have been going there for almost 5 years now, which is saying something since this is the longest I have stayed at a school. Abundant life has a decent education system just like any other school would. The only factor that is really different there is that we are a private Christian school, so we can learn and talk about God openly there. It is a great aspect to have in my life so I will be able to teach others about Christ in my years to come. The only thing I would change about the school would be to get college prepatory classes, which would be beneficial to us students.
