The Great Hearts Difference
Learning how to think—not what to think
Through close reading, thoughtful questioning, careful observation, and good-willed conversation, students learn to examine ideas and pursue understanding for themselves.
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 cultivate habits of attention, courage, honesty, friendship, responsibility, and service to others.
A Partnership with Families
We recognize parents as their children’s first and primary educators. Our academies 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 sustained attention.
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 careful listening, respectful disagreement, and confident expression.
Prepared for What Comes Next
Prepared for college. Formed for life.
Our honors-level liberal arts program prepares students for demanding college studies, while dedicated college counselors help Upper School students thoughtfully navigate applications, financial aid, and the search for the right college.
