Welcome to Great Hearts Lincoln Prep, Serving Grades 6-12
Lincoln Prep serves grades 6-12—middle school and high school—guiding students from their first steps into Euclid and Latin through a capstone senior thesis defended before faculty and peers. Every lesson is ordered to Truth, Goodness, and Beauty; because those ideals meet a community that values innovation, neighborliness, and the courage to do what is right even when it is hard.

Why Families Choose Lincoln Prep
Mission-Driven Excellence
Everything we do points back to the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Our well-rounded curriculum—literature, mathematics, science, fine arts, and humanities—invites students into the “Great Conversation” of the Western Tradition.
Personal Growth & High Expectations
From free full-day kindergarten through eleventh grade, Socratic dialogue sparks curiosity while clear routines foster both joy and order. Students meet high academic standards and are mentored by teachers who know and love them.
Character at the Core
Courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom guide daily life. The best schools shape hearts as well as minds, forming compassionate young citizens ready to serve their communities.
Academic life at Lincoln Prep is challenging, yet it begins with wonder.
Middle-school scholars memorize Latin declensions that sharpen syntactic intuition, trace Euclid’s first propositions with straightedge and compass to taste demonstrable truth, and keep nature notebooks that catalogue the geometry hidden in Palo Verde branches. Literature selections—The Odyssey, Beowulf, and the speeches of Frederick Douglass—train the moral imagination; Singapore Math bar-model problems reveal the structure that numbers conceal.
By high school, the curriculum broadens into an honors sequence recognizable at elite preparatory academies: a daily two-hour Humane Letters seminar entwines primary-source history with works from Virgil to Woolf; mathematics climbs through calculus or statistics; laboratory sciences return repeatedly to original texts so students see how modern discovery stands on ancient shoulders. Four continuous years of Latin or Spanish culminate in the ability to read Virgil unmediated or debate Cervantes in fluent conversation. Graduates routinely earn National Merit recognition, secure millions in merit scholarships, and matriculate to programs as varied as engineering at Purdue and philosophy at Notre Dame.
Yet Lincoln Prep refuses to measure success by transcripts alone.
The heart of the program is virtue education woven quietly into everything: the patience required to master a Euclidean proof, the courage to deliver an unflinching speech, the temperance that comes from balanced study and leisure, and the justice practiced when older students mentor sixth-graders through the Lincoln House system.
A Welcoming Community for Every Family
Our campus is located near Gilbert Rd. and Germann in the southeast part of Chandler, making the academy accessible to families across Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creeek, and the southeast Valley.
