The Arlington School is a private school for seventh through 12th grades that is conveniently located in Birmingham’s popular Highland Park neighborhood. The school was founded in 1999 by Debbie Petitto, who had previously run a school serving inpatient students at Birmingham’s Montclair Baptist Hospital. The Arlington School’s small class sizes and individualized education set the school apart from the rest.
The Arlington School usually has around five students per grade. This type of small private school can be a great solution for students with learning differences, students who are gifted and talented or students who need greater flexibility in their school day. The school follows Alabama high school curriculum requirements, and students earn a high school diploma upon graduating from The Arlington School.
The school’s motto is “Dedicated to the success of the individual student.” The Arlington School aims to create an educational strategy and environment to help each student succeed, where they may not be given the same individualized attention at a public or a larger private school.
The Arlington School’s colors are blue and white. There aren’t any official sports teams, band, or theater, due to the size of the school. However, there many opportunities for students volunteer and participate in community events, concerts and art classes.

As far as I know there are only three teachers left. Two of them teach 90% of the classes. And it’s a good education. But the main director of the school is extremely difficult to put up with for parents and students. I hated my time there and I wish my parents would’ve sent me to Indian Springs. Th...
