The Nitty Gritty

We have a one-room schoolhouse and 20 students.

Drop-off is 8:15–8:30, pickup is 3:45-4:00

We mostly match Fayetteville Public School calendar & weather closures

Students spend a lot of time outside and on field trips - proper attire is required.

If you use EFA funds, tuition can be as little as $200/year plus gear fee

Our Commitment

At Arête Mountain Academy, we believe every child deserves the chance to rise to their potential, regardless of financial circumstance or learning difference. Too often, students who learn differently or come from low-income families are left without environments where they can truly thrive.

Our goal is to create that place: a school where barriers are lifted, support is personal, and challenge becomes opportunity. By keeping tuition accessible and shaping an education that values kinesthetic and experiential learning, we open doors for families who might otherwise be excluded - ensuring that purpose, strength, and wisdom are within reach for all.
