Lost and Found:

All Lost and Found items will be available on tables outside the front office after 9AM on Wednesday, March 5 and Thursday, March 6. Parents are welcome to stop by to look through misplaced items during this time. Anything unclaimed will be donated over Spring Break.

Quarter 3 Evaluations:

Student evaluations will be available for viewing in the Powerschool Parent Portal on Friday, March 14 at 5 PM.

The Great Hearts Difference

Philosophy - Great Hearts schools believe that the human intellect can attain knowledge through reason, hard work, and disciplined study.

Curriculum

• Great Hearts schools offer a core reading list of Great Books called Classics to Keep.
• We also study the literary and philosophical classics of the West.

Teaching methods

• Great Hearts uses the Socratic method in smaller class sizes.
• Faculty use thoughtful lessons, orderly classrooms, and timely evaluation of student work.

Culture

• Great Hearts schools have a unified culture that encourages students to study the high culture of the West.
• We seek to instill virtues such as humility, integrity, friendship, and perseverance.
• Great Hearts schools keep contemporary politics and culture out of the classroom.

Each year we ask parents for feedback on their academy and Great Hearts as a whole. We hope you will take the time to fill out this year’s survey. It should only take a few minutes, and we very much want to hear your perspective. 

Take the Great Hearts Family Survey

The survey will remain open through March 4. Our goal is to hear from as many families as possible to help us best understand what is going well and how we can improve. To that end, if we increase our participation percentage from last year, students will be rewarded with a "Jeans and Crazy Sock Day!"

Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your feedback through the Family Survey.

The Arizona Public School Tax Credit (TC) drive supports character-building activities including enrichment course, and field trips.  

Every Arizona resident is eligible to contribute their Public School Tax Credit, claim it on their state taxes, and receive the same amount on their tax return. 

We ask parents to give $200 if they file individually or $400 if they file jointly. We also ask extended family, faculty, and friends to give their Tax Credits as well. 

Our faculty contribute so much to your scholar's education. We ask you to make the same commitment to your scholars as our faculty through the tax credit.
