Micro-School
Bonnerdale &
Blevins, Arkansas
About Us
Roots Academy is a Christian micro-
school that focuses on the whole child.
We’re a small body of learners that
are rooted in Biblical studies, core
academics, life skills, and community.
Our heart is to cultivate foundations that
grow in each child’s mind, body, and
soul. Our guiding principle is Colossians
2:6-8.
“...Rooted and built up in Him...”
Our Academics
Our gifted teachers have years of
experience and a passion for teaching at
Roots Academy. Our Biblical studies curriculum
is rooted in God’s word with lessons from
Abeka and Answers in Genesis. Our core
academics are rooted in strong mathematics,
reading, writing, social studies, and science. We
use a combination of award-winning curricula,
such as The Good and The Beautiful, Abeka,
and the Arkansas State Standards, as our
guides. We value the importance of
incorporating place-based, STEAM, hands-on,
and outdoor exploration learning into a child’s
educational environment. Here at Roots, we
also cultivate life skills such as gardening,
sewing, cooking, and much more!

Our Staff
Roots Academy knits together strong relationships with
each student and their family. We meet students
where they are and construct a personalized learning
plan. In our pursuit to equip students with Biblical
foundations, strong academics, valuable experiences,
encouragement, and the essential qualities to succeed, we
will use a variety of methodologies. There is no one
size fits all to education. Students need the flexibility
and freedom to learn in an environment conducive to
progress, not perfection.
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is
no education at all.” -Aristotle
