The word Acarath is an acronym for Academics, Arts and Athletics.

Montessori philosophy and education is the mainstay of the center.

For an explanation of Montessori philosophy and its everyday application, see "Montessori Philosophy." Acarath is unique because of the activities we offer, and our student's daily schedule.
