National Academy at AZ

About US

GHO National Academy at Arizona offers a full-time, online K-11 education program rooted in the same exceptional Great Hearts curriculum, culture, and quality of teaching that families know and trust. Delivered through Great Hearts Online Nova, this program is available to families using ESA funds. Join us to experience a classical education that nurtures the mind and heart, from the comfort of home.

We are also pleased to share that this program remains under the guidance of Mrs. Jamee Twardeck. With more than 25 years in education, Mrs. Twardeck offers experience as both a homeschool mother as well as a classical educator and administrator.

About Our Model

GHO National Academy at Arizona continues the balance online-offline approach: live Zoom classes in the morning, independent coursework in the afternoon, and access to teachers for tutoring and office hours. This flexible structure supports academic excellence and fits seamlessly into your family’s routine.

WHAT IS THE SAME

The GHO National Academy at Arizona carries forward everything families love about GHO-AZ. Students will continue to experience the same rich, classical curriculum, the same commitment to cultivating virtue and academic excellence, and the same supportive learning culture. Classes remain small, with highly qualified and passionate Great Hearts teachers leading live instruction.

 

WHAT IS DIFFERENT

With no state testing requirements or daily attendance reporting, families have more freedom to tailor the program to their needs while still benefiting from the same high-quality education. This ESA-funded model provides additional opportunities for families to allocate remaining funds toward supplementary educational resources, creating a more personalized learning experience.
