Great Hearts Online is a full-time, virtual academy offering a rigorous, classical liberal arts curriculum including advanced math and science, robust arts, and foreign languages. Great Hearts Online offers two education models: live instruction class learning supplemented by meaningful offline work and a fully asynchronous model, to accommodate the needs and lifestyles of our families.
Parents and guardians serve an integral role in the education of their children, facilitating their learning while being supported by our dedicated faculty. With live engaging classes, meaningful independent work, and opportunities for virtual and in-person community building, Great Hearts Online is a revolutionary school@home choice.
At Great Hearts Online, we believe every child deserves access to a quality education. Our virtual academy does this by offering a rigorous, classical curriculum to students from diverse backgrounds and across multiple states. Great Hearts Online currently serves students in grades K-8 and will be serving K-9 in the 2023-2024 school year then adding another grade level each year after until we are K-12.
Our purpose is to cultivate the hearts and minds of students in pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. We seek truth in the sciences and math, goodness in the characters of the classics read. We see boundless beauty in the fine arts, patterns of math, design of the universe, and eloquence of language. As we learn and immerse in truth, goodness, and beauty, we begin to understand what it means to really be human.
Dedicated teachers and classmates combined with the supportive home environment is a beautiful blend for families that seek to learn, explore and play together within a structured environment. A response to our changing world, Great Hearts Online is a partner with families for the whole of scholars’ learning.
We believe a classical liberal arts curriculum sparks a child’s sense of wonder. Asking why is encouraged in order to develop independent thinking. Learn about our philosophical pillars.
Great Hearts focuses on the whole child, mind and heart. Our classical curriculum is rooted in nine virtues woven into every subject and discussed in class: Responsibility, perseverance, integrity, honesty, courage, citizenship, humility, friendship, and wisdom.
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” ~Aristotle
We focus on virtues in all areas of learning whether it’s discussing the goodness of characters in a classical book or discovering truth in the patterns of math. Here’s a peek into the daily life of a Great Hearts Online scholar. It’s a new approach to schooling that offers structure, freedom, and balance for the entire family.
