Dear Prospective Families and Esteemed Members of the Arcadia Community, 

Welcome to Archway Veritas, a flourishing cornerstone of classical education located in the picturesque Arcadia neighborhood of Phoenix, Arizona. As part of the esteemed Great Hearts Academies network, we are a tuition-free, public charter school dedicated to offering an exceptional preparatory education to our elementary school students, beginning with kindergarten. At Archway Veritas, we believe in the transformative power of a classical education, one that not only informs the mind but also enriches the soul. 

In an era where education often leans heavily towards utilitarian ends, Archway Veritas stands as a beacon of intellectual joy and scholarly rigor. Our approach is rooted in the time-honored traditions of the Western intellectual heritage, fostering a deep appreciation for the True, the Good, and the Beautiful. Here, your child will not be mere spectators of the latest technology but active participants in a rich educational journey. 

Our curriculum is designed to introduce students to the grand tapestry of Western Civilization, nurturing a love for learning that transcends the boundaries of conventional pedagogy. Each student is provided with a robust foundation in reading, writing, arithmetic, science, literature, and history. This is complemented by enriching studies in French, fine arts, and physical education, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience that balances discipline with playfulness and joy. 

The heart of Archway Veritas lies in our community of educators. Our teachers are not just instructors; they are mentors who embody a love of learning for its own sake. They are dedicated to cultivating in each student a disposition towards wisdom – a wisdom that is broad, disciplined, playful, and joyful. Our faculty’s commitment to this vision creates an environment where children thrive intellectually and morally. 

As Headmaster, I am deeply committed to the success of our students and the operation of our school. This commitment extends to every administrator, teacher, and staff member at Archway Veritas. Together, we strive to create a safe, challenging, and nurturing environment for our students, fostering open and honest relationships with our parents. Our team is talented, committed, and caring, and we are united in our mission to provide the best possible education to our students. 

Located in the vibrant Arcadia community, our school benefits from the cultural richness and diversity of Phoenix. This unique setting allows us to offer an educational experience that is not only academically rigorous but also culturally enriching. 

As a tuition-free institution, we are committed to making this exceptional educational experience accessible to all families. We believe that every child deserves a high-quality education that prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of the future. This commitment to accessibility and excellence is a cornerstone of our philosophy, ensuring that our doors are open to all who seek a transformative education. 

We warmly invite you to explore Archway Veritas, to learn more about our unique approach to education, and to discover the vibrant community that makes our school a special place. We encourage you to visit our campus, meet our passionate educators, and experience the enriching environment that we offer. 

Archway Veritas is more than just a school; it is a community where intellectual curiosity, moral virtue, and academic excellence are nurtured and celebrated. We are excited about the possibility of welcoming you to our family and embarking together on this enriching educational journey. 

We look forward to meeting you and sharing the exceptional experience that Archway Veritas offers. Join us as we continue to shape not only scholars but also virtuous citizens and future leaders of our world.
