Classical Education. Revolutionary Schools.
About us
Since its inception, Great Hearts has been on a mission to become a national leader in public charter schools. We work tirelessly to ensure our students receive an outstanding classical liberal arts education. Our program is anchored in exceptional teaching from the best in the profession and the support of committed families who make each school a thriving community. Today, we serve more than 25,000 students at 45 academies across Arizona, Louisiana, and Texas as well as through our online academies. From our humble beginnings as a single entity in rented space, we have become Arizona’s largest not-for-profit charter school network, the largest “brick and mortar” classical education provider in the country, and we are excited about working with new partners to extend this education to eager students nationwide. We gladly prepare our graduates for success in the best universities in the nation, but our main purpose is the formation of the soul, heart, and mind. We believe that the highest goal of education is to become good, intellectually and morally.

After many years in district school administration, Marla Babcock was intrigued by Great Hearts’ philosophy of inclusion in special education and joined the network as ESS Coordinator at Scottsdale Prep. She then moved into the role of Regional Coordinator for the Scottsdale schools, and though she left the network for a short time, she returned to Great Hearts Arizona to serve as ESS Specialist four years ago. She credits Great Hearts ESS leaders Tom Doebler and Tealai Gonella “for their collective knowledge of ESS and longevity with Great Hearts, as well as their encouragement and trust in my abilities, which inspired me to take on challenges I may have otherwise continued to shy away from (including interviewing for the director role).” Mrs. Babcock reflects on the fulfillment she receives from “knowing I am serving and leading others who want to continue to grow and serve the ESS population to the best of their abilities. I believe this boils down to ensuring that all scholars, with or without disabilities, thrive and learn to be kind and great-hearted humans.” Chart your career at Great Hearts today!

At Archway Glendale, Mrs. Terpstra’s class put their engineering skills to the test by building earthquake-proof structures using just coffee sticks and marshmallows! This hands-on activity is a perfect example of how we at Great Hearts brings the wonder of science to life. Our students don’t just learn about the natural world—they experience it, applying their knowledge in creative and practical ways. #greathearts #archwayglendale #earthquake #science #explore #experiment #wonder
