History

Athletics at the time included soccer, basketball, and cheerleading. Since then the athletics department has grown to include softball, tennis, baseball, track and field, cross country, volleyball, and recently football. The school has also added music, drama, art, and foreign language.

With the school's rapid expansion, the need for more space became a problem, which was accommodated by a donation of land in south Fulton County. The present facilities were built, and in September 1976, the doors were opened at the new location. Two years later, a gymnasium was completed.

In 1986, the school merged with Greater Atlanta Christian Schools.

After seven years, families wanted a board and more local control of the school's operations. On July 1, 1994, the school was officially chartered as an independent entity. Since then, the school has been blessed with its highest enrollment since 1974, while maintaining high academic standards and Christian principles.

In August 2000, a high school hall was added, containing eight new classrooms, a computer and science lab, and a high school office.

In 2008, Arlington celebrated its 50th anniversary.
