Apec Afterschool @ Renaissance

Arlington Christian School is a private, faith-based institution established in 1959, serving Pre-Kindergarten through twelfth grade students in the South Fulton area of metro Atlanta. Rooted in Christian values, the school guides each student toward physical, academic, social, emotional, and spiritual maturity, drawing on the Biblical principle in Luke 2:52. The school offers a college preparatory curriculum within a strong Christian community, emphasizing character formation alongside academic achievement. Arlington Christian participates in the Georgia Promise Scholarship program, providing eligible families with access to state education savings account funding for tuition and expenses.

At Chattahoochee Hills Charter School, we connect academic learning with agriculture, environmental awareness and the arts. Our curriculum draws on Georgia learning standards, national standards and local objectives. Interactive lessons and hands-on experiences help students apply knowledge and skills. We work with families and community partners through school events, volunteering and a shared school-family compact. Our school was recognized as a Georgia Literacy Leaders school for 2023–24.

The Bedford School grew out of the work of our founder, Betsy Box, who built a program for students with learning disabilities at Woodward Academy and in 1981 launched Squirrel Hollow, a summer camp pairing tutoring with recreation. Parents asked for a full-time school, and we opened in 1985 with 36 students. Since 2001 we have been on our own 46-acre campus in Fairburn. We serve about 150 students in grades 1 to 9 who have a diagnosed learning disability such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, central auditory processing disorder or ADHD. Students are grouped by ability in classes of 10 or fewer in Lower School and 12 or fewer in Middle School, with a 5:1 student-teacher ratio. English and math meet twice daily, S.P.I.R.E. provides multisensory reading instruction, and a speech-language therapist is on staff. After-school care includes supervised homework help. Our main building has 21 classrooms, a STEM lab, library, full-size gym, art room and lunchroom. Outside are a playground, outdoor classroom, soccer field, swimming pool and a 30-element challenge course. Students take adaptive PE, art, drama and music, and play on athletic teams.
