Rogdale’s mom, Amy, has always been an involved parent and always attentive to his learning needs. So when large classes and inconsistent instruction began to affect Rogdale in and out of the classroom, she took action. What Amy and her new Arete Scholar found at Gardere Community Christian in Baton Rouge were intimate class sizes, a nurturing environment, and a safe place for Rogdale to find his way and thrive. It’s working big-time. School choice does.

Smiles are contagious at Atlanta Youth Academy. And so is excellence. We had a wonderful visit this week with our longtime friends at AYA, and it was joy to meet Arete mom Amanda H. and kindergartner Morgan. Beautiful new facilities, new learning opportunities, new (and longtime) teachers, and new safety measures — but the same passionate commitment to the kids and community on the southeast side of Atlanta. This year, 25 Arete Scholars call AYA home.

Simply put, these scholarships you help us grant are changing lives. Jesus the Good Shepherd (Monroe, LA) principal, Mrs. Patrick, shares these kind and encouraging words…

“[Emory] and her three siblings enrolled at our school this year with Arete and they are all wonderful students. … They adore our school and they all tell me thank you at least once per day for allowing them the opportunity to attend our school. We are lucky to have them… You are truly making a difference one child at a time!”
