The Arlington School provides an individualized education experience to a wide variety of students.
While there is no one "type" of student at The Arlington School, many of our students come here because, in one way or another, their needs were not met at a larger public or private school because of our small size, it is possible to address the many issues that middle school and high school students normally face.
Problems which are usually ignored in a traditional educational system.
At The Arlington School we recognize that there is more to learning than what occurs in the classroom.
In fact, a student's entire life affects his/her education. We believe that providing the best education possible means more than just teaching subjects.
