Aristoi Classical Academy officials said the school expanded with a new campus and opened the doors on Aug. 12 for a ‘meet the teacher’ event. Per previous Community Impact reporting, the new campus was announced on Feb. 25.
“The new campus represents an important milestone for Aristoi Cypress and for the families who have helped build the school community since it opened in 2020,” officials said. “Aristoi is a tuition-free public charter school rooted in the classical liberal arts tradition with an emphasis on critical thinking, clear communication, strong character, and the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. The Ardfield campus gives Aristoi Cypress a permanent home where that mission can continue for generations of scholars in the Cypress and Northwest Houston communities.”
The gist
Aristoi Cypress opened Crossover Bible Fellowship in 2020 with the long-term goal of establishing a permanent home in the Cypress community, officials said. As enrollment continued to grow and additional grade levels were added, the campus outgrew its original space.
Officials said the Ardfield Drive property gave Aristoi the opportunity to remain close to the families it already serves while creating a permanent campus designed to support its continued growth.
What to expect
At the new campus, families can expect updated classrooms and learning spaces as well as a new gymnasium, which gives Aristoi Cypress a dedicated space for athletics, physical education, school events and community gatherings, officials said.
“Aristoi's educational mission remains the same, providing an academically challenging classical liberal arts education that develops knowledgeable, thoughtful students of virtuous character," officials said.
All current grades Kindergarten-11th will be housed in the same building with room to grow into 12th next year and onward.
Also of note
Aristoi Classical Academy is a tuition-free public charter school and is governed by a Board of Directors. Jonathan Mueller serves as superintendent of Aristoi Classical Academy, Barbara Havlik serves as President of the Board of Directors, and Mark Pertuso serves as Headmaster of Aristoi Cypress, officials said.
The charter school offers free education for students from Kindergarten through 11th grade.
