LEARNING COHORTS

---

At Arete Hall, we recognize that education is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Rather than following a  traditional age-grade model, our students are part of learning cohorts—small, multi-age groups of students who progress together based on skill, mastery, and developmental readiness. This model allows us to cultivate a rich learning environment where each child is seen, known, and encouraged to flourish at their own pace. 

We are committed to returning to a system of education that underpinned the original foundations of Oxford and Harvard while producing thinkers like Virgil, William Tyndale, Jonathan Edwards, the Founding Fathers, and C.S. Lewis. We move beyond the idea of simply "covering" material and instead prioritize true mastery of concepts. Tests and quizzes are used as tools for learning—formative assessments that guide our teaching, ensuring every student has the opportunity to fully grasp and apply what they are learning.
