Field trip dates for the entire year will be shared before the semester begins, making it easy for families to plan ahead with confidence.

🎬 Teen Movie Night – 7th Grade and Up
Our monthly teen movie night is a favorite social event for middle and high school students. In addition to enjoying a movie together, students will spend time hanging out, building friendships, and heading outside to spot constellations—bringing their astronomy studies to life under the stars.

Tuition is $1850 per year for elementary students and $2250 for middle/high school. This covers weekly classes, monthly field trips, student events, and all registration fees—no hidden costs, just a joyful, supportive environment where kids can thrive.

All required books, classroom supplies, and teacher compensation are included in the tuition.

Admissions Philosophy

Raising Arrows seeks to enroll families who are dedicated to providing their child with an education that is Christ-centered and honors children for the unique gifts and strengths God gave them.

More specifically, we seek families who are not only interested in Raising Arrows as an educational alternative, but who are aligned with the mission to raise up disciples who love and follow Jesus. At home and at Raising Arrows, our children will grow in their faith, character, biblical knowledge and active relationships with Jesus.

Raising Arrows seeks to enroll children who build each other up, have fun together, and develop close friendships. As a community, we seek to partner with other mamas who consistently guide and correct their children if/when any unkindness happens, making sure each child in Raising Arrows feels welcome, wanted, and loved.

Raising Arrows strives to admit all families who align with our Statement of Belief, as well as our mission and purpose. We do, however, reserve the right to deny admission to a student if his or her ability, behavior, or emotional development indicates that he or she would not be best served by this homeschool program. Raising Arrows welcomes a diversity of students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin.
