Put a GO in front of disabled. It spells: God is abled.

At ARROWS we strongly believe students who are unique learners (including those with Down syndrome, autism, trauma, and various cognitive diagnoses) are integral members of the Kingdom of God and should be given the same opportunity to grow educationally as their neurotypical peers. 

Because of our small class size and variable learning groups, we are able to strategically integrate neurodiverse students in with their typical learning peers. We find that many of the "challenges" unique learners face in traditional education settings are non-issues in a small classical model. Neurotypical students also benefit as they develop empathy and appreciation for others who think differently than themselves, removing stigmas and creating a family-like classroom environment. Our ability based learning groups also allow students with special needs the opportunity to explore content over a multi-year period, if needed, while peers can also move at a rate that best serves them.

At ARROWS we aim to maintain a ratio of 30% neurodiverse students to 70% typical learners in a classroom with 12 students and 1 teacher. For students requiring greater support, our Education Council will meet with teachers and parents to create a tiered tutoring and/or behavior plan, as needed.
