The mission of Great Hearts Academies (“GHA”) is to create a network of academically rigorous, classical,
liberal arts primary, middle, and high schools in Arizona and Texas. This network will prepare its graduates
for success in the most highly selective colleges and universities in the nation, and to be leaders in creating a more
philosophical, humane, and just society. Great Hearts’ public academies surpass the best public and private school
options in academic outcomes, student moral formation, and comprehensive extra-curricular participation.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Great Hearts is passionately committed to cultivating the hearts and minds of students through the pursuit of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
Enrollment Characteristics: Charter schools are open to ALL children and they are committed to serving a student body that reflects the local community. If a charter school receives more students than it has spots available, it is required by law to hold a lottery to determine which students will have the opportunity to attend. Many charter schools have waitlists and may admit more students from the waitlist as spots become available.
School History:
Great Hearts network of non-profit public charter schools are dedicated to improving education nationwide through classical liberal arts academies. By engaging a well-rounded program in a vibrant school culture, our students are prepared for success in college, leadership in any field in which they choose to endeavor, and a life filled with purpose.
