Great Hearts Online academies are fully accredited, TUITION-FREE schools offering a rich, classical liberal arts curriculum including advanced math and science, robust arts, and foreign languages into the safety of home or anywhere you go. We offer two virtual academies in the states of Arizona and Texas. For families wanting maximum independence from standardized testing, we offer fully asynchronous courses through our National Academy Flex Program.
Parents and guardians serve an integral role in the education of their children, facilitating their learning while being supported by our dedicate faculty. With engaging classes, relevant independent work, and community building opportunities to meet in person, Great Hearts Online is a revolutionary school at home choice.
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 ourselves, we begin to understand what it means to really be human.
Passionate teachers, virtual classmates, dedicated faculty coupled with a supportive home environment offers families the freedom and joy of learning, exploring and playing together within a structured environment. In response to our changing world, Great Hearts Online is a partner with families for the whole-person development of their child.
We believe a classical liberal arts curriculum sparks a child’s natural sense of wonder and curiosity of the world around them. Asking why is encouraged in order to develop independent thinking liberating the mind and heart. 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. Those virtues are Responsibility, Perseverance, Integrity, Honesty, Courage, Citizenship, Humility, Friendship, and Wisdom.
At Great Hearts Online, we believe every child deserves access to a quality education. Our online academy delivers a world class curriculum to students of diverse backgrounds across multiple states. Great Hearts Online currently serves grades K-11th in Arizona and Texas with plans of adding another grade level each year until we are fully K-12. High school students also have access to College Credit courses that yield an associate’s degree or transferrable credits upon graduation.
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” ~Aristotle
