Mission Statement

At ACM, we provide engaging learning experiences so that our students become creative thinkers, effective communicators, and socially responsible citizens.  

About Our School

Arapaho Classical Magnet is a neighborhood school that welcomes magnet students from across the district. We have a very active community of parents, staff, and neighborhood businesses that support our academic, cultural, and artistic endeavors. We are led by Kristin Strickland as the principal and Catherine Bennett as the assistant principal. We teach students in kindergarten through sixth grade. These special programs at ACM set our school apart:

  • The House System – All students are sorted into a House and will remain in that House throughout their years at ACM. It will be a place where they will bond with others in all grade levels. The Houses represent the virtues of Integrity, Determination, Purpose and Respect.
  • Art Integration
  • Theater & Media Arts Program 
  • Annual Spring Musical Performance put on by students in grades 4-6
  • PBIS-Positive Behavior Intervention Support
  • Differentiated Curriculum
  • ACM Acres – An outdoor learning area
  • Gifted and Talented strategies used in all classrooms 
  • Empowering students with a Growth Mindset
