Dear Families,

This week we celebrated all of the hard work students put in this year. It has been humbling to see how much our students have accomplished in the middle of a pandemic. We also said farewell to the graduating class of 2021. While it is sad to see them go, it is exactly why we are here - to educate the hearts and minds of student to the pursuit of Truth, Beauty and Goodness before sending them into the wide world to make a difference.

While this year has been full of turmoil and uncertainty, I am grateful for our community. Grateful for the kindness and generosity that teachers, parents and student show each other. We would not be Arete Prep without the individual acts of kindness that make ups a supportive and welcoming community.

The Arete Leadership teams have already begun to plan for next year and we are excited to be bringing back so much of what is important to make our community vibrant and thrive. We will send a communication in July which will reflect the changes families can expect for next year – including a return to in person event.

I hope a summer of leisure and rest for you and your family!

Sincerely, 

Julia Gillingham, Headamaster
