OUR CULTURE
Our academies are bastions of academic rigor and excellence and attract students who are curious and diligent.
Classes are run Socratically - teachers are expected to be guides as well as participants in the search for Truth, Goodness, and Beauty.
The faculty of Great Hearts Academies is a true community of life-long learners who, together, participate in seminars, attend classical music concerts, hear lectures on art, philosophy, mathematics, and other topics in the liberal arts, and enjoy frequent fellowship (frequently over food and drink!)
Certification is not required (for other than SPED roles); while many of our teachers do come from education programs or other local public schools, many others hold undergraduate/graduate degrees in the academic subjects they teach and/or from top liberal arts programs.
APPRENTICE TEACHER PROGRAM
Offers new teachers an intentional, individualized course of study and mentorship with a Master Teacher as they learn the craft of teaching in a classical, liberal arts primary-school environment. Upon the successful completion of this full-time, paid apprenticeship, teachers are recommended for full-teaching roles across the network.
