Cultivating hearts and minds through the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty
Tune in to why we are here and why we do what we do for our scholars. This month we are focusing on the virtue of Perseverance.
CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS
Open Enrollment
Spread the word! Open Enrollment begins November 8th. Applying during Open Enrollment enters students into the lottery and guarantees the best chance of receiving an offer to attend Great Hearts Arlington in the 2022-2023 school year.
Storybook Festival is coming next Friday, October 29th, and we have a number of exciting events planned, including our Little Sibling Story Corner with Mrs. Duininck! 3- and 4-year old brothers and sisters of current Great Hearts Arlington scholars are invited to come to school with a parent for a special story hour hosted by Headmaster Duininck's wife, Amanda Duininck.
A special storybook read aloud and more await.
Space is limited for this exclusive event, so act quickly!
If your student was not present for the first picture day, or if you are not happy with your student's first portrait, we will be having a Picture Retake Day on Tuesday, November 2nd.

Hi my name is Andrea Gum. I’m 28 from Fort Worth. I’m currently in school studying for my bachelors in early education. In my free time I’m usually with my corgi Odin and spending time with friends and family. I have been a teacher for about 5 years with most of my experience in Pre-k.
