No. While our model includes more adults in classrooms, we carefully design our spending so that it fits within state funding and remains sustainable over time. Teachers spend more time collaborating and planning, and students receive more personalized support without increasing class sizes. Our team-teaching approach leads to stronger academic results and more efficient use of resources.

Nothing. Arcadia High School is a free, public charter school. There are no tuition costs to families.

Arcadia High School will open in the Alief area of Houston. Final facility details will be shared as soon as they are confirmed. Families can sign up for updates through our interest form.

Starting with 9th grade allows Arcadia to build a strong culture, academic foundation, and personalized supports from day one. Each year we add one grade level until we reach full enrollment (9–12). This approach ensures students receive consistent instruction, teachers receive deep support, and families experience a stable program that grows intentionally and not rushed.

Arcadia High School uses a research-based, team-teaching model where students benefit from multiple teachers, targeted instruction, and built-in support time during the school day. Our model ensures every student receives personalized learning and consistent, high-quality instruction, every day.
