Athenaeum is our after-school program which runs throughout the school year from dismissal to 6 pm. The program consists of homework assistance, theme-based curriculum activities, and opportunities for scholars to socialize and have fun. Inquire or send your resume to Amanda Johnson at AJohnson@GreatHeartsAZ.org. or apply online.

Used Uniform Exhange
Donations of used uniforms can be dropped off in the front office during Summer Office hours.

The Uniform Exchange for Arete Prep is scheduled for Monday, July 18 in the Arete Library. More info to come.
Volunteers for 22-23 Info
If you would like to volunteer on campus or chaperone field trips for the 22-23 school year, you MUST register online AFTER JULY 1 by clicking here to complete the volunteer application and the cost is $5.
The enrollment is good from July 1, 2022 through June 2023. Each July, you will need to re-register for the following school year if you would like to volunteer.

Once completed, the Raptor system will respond within 48 hours to let you know if you are cleared to volunteer. All volunteers must be approved through this process, no exceptions. Please note, when selecting our school it will not separate Archway and Prep; it will clear you for both schools. You may choose multiple campuses if that applies to your family.

If you are currently an approved volunteer through Raptor, the Raptor system will send you a reminder email to register for next year.
WARNING
Parents: There is a game called Doki-doki that can be downloaded and played on a PC or can be purchased for Xbox, Switch, Playstation, etc. It is not a phone app. It is clearly for mature audiences and is advertised as a “psychological horror experience.” It has been described as very disturbing, upsetting, horrific, etc. It does have a disclaimer before playing that states “this game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed.”
Yearbooks Are Still Available
There is still a chance to purchase a yearbook this year. They have limited availability and will be distributed during the second to last week of school. You can purchase a yearbook for $60 with cash or check at the front office or through a payment portal. CLICK HERE to purchase.
