For parents across Arlington and the surrounding areas, choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions they’ll make, and thankfully, there are many schools to choose from. It’s not just about academics—it’s about finding a place where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow. For many families, that place is Arlington Classics Academy.
Nestled in the heart of Arlington for 26 years, ACA stands out not only for its classical education model but for the environment it fosters—a place where every child is known, valued, and nurtured. For parents seeking both academic excellence and emotional security, ACA offers a rare and compelling combination.
A Safe Haven for Learning
In today’s world, safety is a top concern for every family. From secure building access to a vigilant staff presence and well-established safety protocols, ACA offers peace of mind that allows students to focus on what matters most: learning and growing. Teachers and staff are deeply invested in each child’s success and well-being, fostering a sense of trust that parents can feel the moment they walk through the doors.
Support That Starts with Connection
What truly sets ACA apart is its intentional approach to support. Students benefit from small class sizes, where teachers can give personalized attention and build strong, meaningful relationships with their students. ACA’s faculty not only teach—they mentor, guide, and encourage. “One of the things that sets (ACA) apart from other schools is the energy level at drop-off and the friendliness of the teachers. I love that the teachers will ask for schedules to attend my children’s sporting events! They took time out of their busy schedules to watch my children perform – they care!” – ACA Parent
A Classical Foundation for the Future
While safety and support are cornerstones of ACA, parents are also drawn to the school’s rigorous classical curriculum. Based on the Trivium—grammar, logic, and rhetoric—ACA’s academic model encourages critical thinking, strong communication skills, and a lifelong love of learning. It’s a time-honored approach that prepares students not just for the next grade level, but for life. One parent noted that they were impressed with “the encouraging teachers that push my children to achieve goals inside the classroom that they may have thought were not attainable. The teachers have pushed my kids to be better and grow academically.” Another parent stated that, “the academic standards that (ACA has) are second to none. I feel like my child is being set up for success when he enters high school.”
