Curriculum
Great Hearts Christian Academies interweaves the proven classical experience of Great Hearts with the Truth of the Christian faith. Our fidelity to the Christian faith and the cultivation of each student’s heart is not limited to a single class, but is on display across each subject, activity, and experience.
The program deploys the proven Great Hearts classical curriculum with key refinements and additions:
- The addition of age-appropriate Scripture instruction
- The middle school history program is supplemented with greater focus on Ancient Israel and the Early Church
- Morning prayer is intentional and structured as a governing ethos for daily learning
