Every one of our schools, families, and students mean the world to us — they all help put a joyful face on this work of ours. Still, there are some who find their way quickly and deeply into our hearts. That’s Thrive Academy in Atlanta. New Arete scholar, Montraviois, is off to a great start in this new year of learning and is making huge gains in reading!

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!”

A new school year and lots of new opportunities to learn and grow. Can’t believe it’s been nearly five years since our first Intern for a Day experience with our partners at the Atlanta Falcons. Let’s do it again!

It’s pretty simple really. We believe decisions about a child’s education are best left to those who know the child best. School choice programs empower parents — regardless of zip code and income levels — to choose the best school for their children.
