What could a great school teach a child if the school effectively uses the hours the child is there?

Arches Academy is a school full of administration and teachers that love to teach and love what they do. (I even overheard one of the staff at the grocery store telling somebody how much they love their job.) If you imagine what great educators are and what great educators do, I think that would describe the staff at Arches."
