Welcome to Great Hearts Arizona
At Great Hearts in Louisiana, students from kindergarten through high school rise each morning to pursue Truth, Goodness, and Beauty—the heartbeat of every Great Hearts tuition-free charter school. Within calm, orderly classrooms, young people learn to think clearly, speak eloquently, and act with virtue.
The Great Hearts Distinction
What Makes Our Classical Education Approach Different?
• K-12, One-Campus Continuity. From phonograms and Singapore Math in the early grades to Euclid, Latin, and Humane Letters in high school, students experience a seamless journey that deepens knowledge and character year after year.
• Rich Well-Rounded Curriculum. Literature, history, mathematics, science, and the fine arts are taught in dialogue with the great ideas of the Western tradition, awakening wonder and cultivating disciplined, joyful minds.
• Two-Teacher Model in the Lower School. A lead teacher and an assistant guide every K-5 classroom, ensuring personal attention and the steady encouragement young scholars need to flourish.
• Joy & Order Campus Culture. Uniforms, screen-free classrooms, and orderly routines create the calm needed for confident voices and vivid imagination to thrive.
• Virtue in Daily Practice. Classic texts and purposeful habits nurture courage, friendship, and wisdom—virtues woven into lessons, athletics, and service projects alike.
Academic life at Great Hearts is challenging, yet it begins with wonder.
Elementary-grade teachers introduce students to the great stories of the West—Aesop, Homer, and Frederick Douglass—while Singapore Math lessons turn abstractions into colorful bar models that even five-year-olds can manipulate. A dual-language Spanish enrichment block in grades K-5 reinforces phonetic awareness and opens a second linguistic doorway, giving bilingual families affirmation and monolingual families a gift that will serve them for decades.
Middle-school scholars encounter the formal tools of the Trivium: Latin paradigms strengthen logical thought, Euclid’s Elements reveal that truth can be demonstrated step by orderly step, and science labs ask students to measure desert water retention before proposing conservation solutions for their own neighborhood.
By the time students enter high school, the curriculum has widened into an honors sequence recognizable to any classical preparatory academy: literature and Humane Letters every day for two hours, mathematics through calculus, laboratory sciences anchored in original texts, and upper-division Spanish or Latin that equips graduates to read Cervantes or Cicero without translation.
Intellectual formation, however, is only half the picture; virtue education anchors everything.
In classrooms, teachers model virtue: firm yet cheerful expectations, praise for honest effort, correction delivered with clarity and kindness. Visitors often remark that conversations here feel older than the internet age—courteous, unhurried, substantive.
