The annual Great Hearts Arizona Summit is a kickoff to a new school year. It is an occasion for all colleagues in our region to come together and behold wonderful things: the first being the impressive array of colleagues with whom we partner in providing a rich Classical education to children; the second, a particular topic of learning and living that we ought more intently behold. In 2022 it was Mathematics; in 2023 it was the Arts; 2024 will be about what’s relevant. The Summit should be the beginning-of-the-year event that enhances our appreciation for what Frost pens in “The Tuft of Flowers”, namely that “[We] work together,…Whether [we] work together or apart.”

– Brandon Crowe, Superintendent, Great Hearts Arizona
