About Us
Hi, we are the Aarsen's, thanks for checking out Apogee Ames. We never saw ourselves as system buckers, but each year we stepped further and further away from most societal norms including education, health and souvernighty. When we discovered Apogee Strong it aligned with the type of lifestyle and learning that we have envisioned for our three sons. We went all in with this amazing organization and will be launching our campus in the fall of 2025. We are excited to bring like minded families along with us on this journey. Its going to be a great ride!
