Great Hearts Online – National Academy provides an award-winning, accredited, classical virtual school option and an exceptional choice for those accessing ESA funds.
In its inaugural year, Great Hearts Online – National Academy will serve students in grades K-9. The Great Hearts Online (GHO) private school will add a grade level each subsequent year, growing to K-12.
Great Hearts Online – National Academy, accredited by Cognia, offers two educational models for parents and students to choose from:
Both models offer live tutoring, office hours, academic interventions, and optional K-2 reading groups to ensure students are thriving. All Great Hearts Online models emphasize human virtue, character development, student wonder and curiosity, and academic rigor.
“Great Hearts Online is designed to give families the flexibility they need without sacrificing educational quality,” says Kurtis Indorf, Founder and President of Great Hearts Nova. “Families of all kinds are thriving at Great Hearts Online, and the launch of our GHO-National Academy expands that opportunity to families across the country.”
Why attend Great Hearts Online? Parent Jonathan Hornok shares that “virtual learning has alleviated many of our frustrations without compromising what we love about homeschooling. The educational community is phenomenal. Our kids’ teachers connect with our children and motivate them toward academic excellence in a way that we as parents could not. Our children also enjoy the daily camaraderie of the online classroom experience. Simply put, our family thrives because we became part of a like-minded educational community not otherwise available in our town.”
Nancy Lipira-Ferrara is the parent of an athlete who needed a different schedule for her daughter’s education without sacrificing quality learning. “Great Hearts Online offers an exceptional educational opportunity. Sophia is thriving and able to balance her demanding ballet schedule while receiving a rich, classical curriculum from the comfort of home.”
Families across the country have been asking to attend Great Hearts Online. Many have heard of Great Hearts, the largest classical liberal arts institution in the United States, renowned for academic rigor and instilling virtue across its students and school communities.
“Parents across the country are looking for the just-right education options that provide a values-aligned, rigorous, safe, and flexible education for their students,” says Indorf. “Great Hearts Online provides this, and families seek out Great Hearts as a leader in the intellectual and moral formation of students.”
Great Hearts Academies, the largest U.S. network of classical schools, began its first full-time virtual academy in January 2021. It currently serves approximately 1,000 students in grades K-8 in Texas and Arizona. Great Hearts Online continues to defy the odds with world-class academics, close-knit class communities, student growth and achievement, and outstanding family and faculty satisfaction rates. GH Online – National Academy is a tuition-based model with separate finances from the public charter schools.
