School Reviews
5 6/3/2016
My child has attended Aristoi Classical Academy for 8 years and we love the school! He loves the block scheduling; exceptional teachers; and caring and challenging environment. The curriculum has a strong focus on Math, Science, English, and History and also offers Latin. They have been adding a high school which will include up through 11th grade for the 2016-2017 year. As a charter school, it is tuition-free, but it operates like a private school. We can not say enough good things about this school!
