Artios Academies

Artios Plus is a collection of various classes that are offered both before and after the main Academy of Arts and History and Conservatory programs. These classes are designed to enhance your child's Artios experience. Classes and clubs are offered in Math, Science, Foreign Language, Music, Art, Film, Dance, and more. Please check with your local campus to find out what is available in your area. How did Artios begin? Artios began in 1999 in Gwinnett County, Georgia, under the leadership of Lori Lane. The Conservatory program was the first Artios program and was designed to meet the needs of her two oldest sons: One was interested in theater and the other interested in film. Because of her background in the arts, Lori knew exactly what she was looking for to meet the needs of her sons, however, she was not able to find a program in the Atlanta area that combined both excellence in instruction and a strong Biblical worldview of the arts. It was from this need that Artios Conservatory was born. The Conservatory was followed by the Academy of Arts and History, designed with a specific arts scope and sequence that would build from year to year for her younger sons. Then the Preparatory program (with a focus on academics) was created to meet the needs of those parents who wanted to continue to homeschool through the middle and high school years, but needed a partner to do so. Will I be required to teach? No. Artios does not require parents to teach any classes, as some co-ops and other programs do. However, if parents have a desire and skill to teach, they are welcome to apply for a position with their local campus. Do I need to stay on campus during school hours? No. Although we have an open door policy for parents, you are not required to stay on campus during your child's classes. What kind of parent involvement is expected?
