This past Tuesday, we welcomed our littlest students into their first school years at Arma Dei Academy. Our wonderful Preschool staff greeted students with enthusiasm as they walked through the doors of their brand new classrooms located in Phase II of the main Arma Dei campus. Teachers will prepare these young minds for the classical education model throughout the year as they engage them through song and poetry, hands-on exploration, and rich literature emphasizing God’s story. We are excited to be part of the nurturing and training of these precious children!
Our 8th-grade students spent last Wednesday through Friday on retreat at Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, Colorado.

In the morning, they teamed up with Denver-based charity A Little Help to complete some yard work and odd jobs for elderly individuals in the local area. One of the elderly ladies our…
