The Great Hearts Difference
Why families choose Great Hearts
Our academies combine a timeless course of study with attentive teaching, intellectual friendship, and the formation of the whole person.
A Timeless Curriculum
Students encounter great books, mathematics, science, history, fine arts, and classical languages through a coherent curriculum designed to awaken wonder and cultivate wisdom.
Formation in Virtue
Education extends beyond academic achievement. Students develop habits of attention, courage, honesty, friendship, responsibility, and thoughtful participation in their communities.
A Partnership with Families
We recognize parents as their children’s first and primary educators. Our schools work alongside families to support each student’s intellectual and moral growth.
High-Human, Low-Tech
A school day built for human beings
Phones are put away during the school day, screens are used intentionally, and students have room for reflection, conversation, close reading, and the sustained attention meaningful learning requires.
Attend Deeply
Students practice careful observation, close reading, and sustained concentration.
Think Independently
Thoughtful questions invite students to reason, examine evidence, and pursue understanding.
Speak with Courage
Face-to-face discussion develops listening, respectful disagreement, and confident expression.
