It is based upon classical learning models that stress history and values such as "goodness, truth, beauty." In this era of rapid results and digital everything, we can be thankful for an institution that encourages hard work and thoughtful consideration. My daughter loves GH's teachers who genuinely care for her; additionally the parents' organization (PSO) works hard to take care of their educators. Great Hearts stands above most schools in the Valley area; "Bonum, Verum Pulchrum" still thrives here in Phoenix. more ... hide ...

My friends who also have children enrolled in this school have similar concerns regarding the way some of these teachers handle communication with children and adults. For example, one instance includes my child being yelled at for not hearing her number over hundreds of other students in a gym for pickup.

When I did move, I attempted to contact the school multiple times to come back and complete it but they never answered or called back.

However, thankfully the billing company they hired is addressing the issue of being billed without ever enrolling my kid. If you have children looking for a school, take them to Kyrene – at least they answer their phones! more ... hide ...
