When we decided to send our child to ARS, we knew it was a good elementary school. Admittedly, we worried it was wise to go in knowing that we'd have to deal with the admissions process again. We now see that it's actually a luxury to select MS/HS based on who our child is now as opposed to 5 years ago. ARS provides a well-rounded and solid education. It also imbues students with good values and a respect for others. It's a great school.
The tuition has gone up slightly but in exchange, the wonderful old school has been renovated and is a bright and lovely facility for elementary school-aged children. This is a school where your child can be a big fish in a small pond and stay a child, free from the issues that kick in at the adolescent years. It is academically solid and small size enables a great deal of personalized attention to each child's classroom needs. The faculty and administration really care. There extra activities such as language, art and music are tops. The library is charming and very user friendly. ARS has been, to use the name of the afterschool program that operates there, our 'oasis' in a city where kids tend to grow up fast and where many schools are often overcrowded
ARS is a great find. The teachers are absolutely wonderful, and we feel like our child is getting a strong academic foundation. ARS has small classes, and her teachers have kept her school work interesting and challenging. She is excited about learning and going to school every day. The environment is relaxed and has really helped build her confidence.
