Aristoi Classical Academy - Cypress Fundraiser

FREE Event!


Join us this Tuesday for the Cypress Legacy Day, a FREE celebration bringing families, friends, and supporters together for an evening of fun while helping build the future of our new Cypress campus!


Enjoy bounce houses, face painting, a petting zoo, food trucks, and more, plus our Live Legacy Auction featuring exclusive campus naming opportunities.


Supporters can also leave a lasting mark on Cypress by purchasing a Legacy Wall recognition or commemorative brick, sponsoring the event, or helping furnish our new campus through the Cypress Campus Registry.


Event, auction, and parking maps can be found below.


Come celebrate with us and help build a legacy for generations of Cypress scholars to come!

Newsletter Alert


Beginning the first Sunday in November, Cypress will return to one combined weekly newsletter for both Grammar and Logic & Rhetoric families.


While we have recently sent separate newsletters for the two divisions, much of the information overlaps. Moving back to one Cypress newsletter will help reduce repetition and make it easier for families to find important campus-wide updates all in one place.


We hope this change will help ensure that nothing gets missed and make the weekly newsletter more convenient for everyone. Please continue emailing marketing@aristoiclassical.org.

Battle of the Banks!


Penny Wars and Battle of the Banks are in full swing! Classes have been going head-to-head in the Penny Wars competition! Add pennies and dollars to your own class jug to build your score—or use silver coins to bring down the competition.


The class with the highest number of points will be crowned our Battle of the Banks Champion!


Best of all, every dollar raised will help provide academic planners for Aristoi Cypress scholars. Bring in those coins, plan your strategy, and keep BUILDING YOUR CLASS.

October House Competitions

Chess Club Updates, Schedules, and More!


We’ve had a wonderful response to Chess Club this year, and we’re excited for a great season ahead.

October Advocacy Newsletter


The October Advocacy Newsletter is now available! Stay informed on important updates, ways to get involved, and how you can support Aristoi and public charter education.

Lunch Visitors Updates! 


We are now allowing lunch visitors only to the K&1 lunch.


If you would like to attend lunch with your Kindergarten or First Grade scholars, please email shopkins@aristoiclassical.org with 24 hours' advance notice. As a note, you may only bring lunch for your own scholars. 


Second through eleventh grade families, it is still our goal to open to lunch visitors for your students as well! We are hopeful that the addition of outdoor seating areas later this year will create more space for us to welcome visitors. Keep an eye on the newsletters for future updates. In the meantime, you are always welcome to drop off lunch for your student or sign them out during their lunch break! 


Thank you for your patience as we adapt these fun traditions to our new space! 

Booster Club is seeking volunteers to help support Drama Club’s winter performance. Signup on the Booster Hub Calendar.
