While students will learn at different paces, we believe that true education is a matter of development over time and within a stable community. At Great Hearts we give our students individualized attention, but always within a common, one-track curriculum. Please explore our reading lists and curriculum sequences.
Great Hearts middle school students take three years of Latin, write lyric odes to Grecian urns, and read Herodotus and Plutarch. High school students learn geometry directly from Euclid’s Elements, study painting, and by graduation have read more than 200 works of literature, including 100 poems, and performed in 25 concerts and plays, including two full theater productions.
