Arborbrook Christian Academy

Arborbrook is a wonderful school where students are encouraged to 'go deep' and to make connections with what they are studying. The teachers come from various and accomplished backgrounds and have a love of learning that is contagious. There is grace for mistakes which fosters a safe learning environment. In the two years we have been there, both of our sons(middle school aged) went from hating school to enjoying learning again! There is no better measure for success than that!

This is our third year at Arborbrook and we love this school! The teachers are passionate about learning and clearly love what they do. My children have excelled and are growing in faith and knowledge. We are thankful that a school like Arborbrook exists to come along beside our family and educate our children.

I have two young children enrolled at this school (K and 2nd) and I cannot express how blessed we feel to be there! I have been so impressed with the teachers that I have met, how our children are learning and growing in their Christian faith each day, how they are progressing academically, yet they are also enjoying the unique Charlotte Mason style and just having fun each day at school. There is heart in everything done at this school. We appreciate the consistent communication and updates from the teachers. This is the ideal place for our family!

Our family loves Arborbrook. We toured many schools and found Arborbrook was the right fit for our family. Having a faith based education experience and small class sizes were important factors for us. But, what we have found at Arborbrook has been so much more than that. Our children's day consist of morning bible, academics taught from living books not standardized text books, nature studies outside, class room projects, various electives and even gardening is apart of their daily life. Not just helping to plant and maintain the gardens but they also get to eat what they grow. I love that in a world that's fast paced and in technology overload, Arborbrook balances embracing the new but preserving things like the art of cursive writing and emphasis on reading and narration. As parents we are able to join our children in morning assembly, serve on teams to help around school, and be apart of the fabric as Arborbrook continues to grow. We look forward to many more years being apart of the Arborbrook Family.

Arborbrook is a young school, which brings some challenges. It can be disorganized and has a lot of continual change and follow up communication to clarify processes that were not fully vetted. The leaders have good intentions, yet there is a type of child that will do well, and those that may not. Quiet, submissive children are regarded highly. Children that question, challenge, or have alternative personalities are left feeling they're not accepted. A difficult aspect of the school is being on the outside of families that have been there for years; they do not actively help new families become part of the fabric. It is often said serving is how to connect, however, getting involved and serving regularly can still leave you feeling you're on the outside looking in as you observe the engagement among veteran families and are met with polite greetings that never go deeper. Arborbrook is wonderful for those that fit the mold. It is a very tight community among many of the families. If you are different, it may be a struggle for your family to fit in. A big plus is Christ is woven into all classes, emphasizing a Christian worldview, and they have a reasonable/light homework load.
