| The
Mission of the Arnold School of Alabama
The mission of The
Arnold School is to create an education environment that
will enable each student to grow according to his academic
needs. Some students are taught on a college
preparatory level and others are taught according to their
academic ability. Each student progresses at a rate
that is comfortable to him, going as slow or as fast as he
is able to achieve.
The Purpose of
the Arnold School
The purpose of The
Arnold School is to provide academic excellence, through
small classes taught on a one to one basis or two to one
basis. It is our aim to produce secure and
successful young people in a small school atmosphere with
positive achievement based on the individuality of each
student.
The Origin of
the Arnold School
The Arnold School
was opened in February 1973 in Mobile as a branch school
of The Arnold School of Pensacola, Florida. It was patterned
after Alexander Smith Academies located in Texas and
Florida.
Cynthia M. Garner,
director of the school is the current owner.

Enrollment
Fees
Every Student, 6th

pays for only classes received or missed without notice,
as well as a $150.00 withdrawal fee should the student not
complete the year.
