For nearly twenty five years, Great Hearts Academies has been building classical schools that endure. What began as a single school rooted in the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty has grown into a national model for academically rigorous, mission driven education shaped by thoughtful leadership, strong culture, and disciplined execution.
Great Hearts Services exists because others began asking to learn from that journey.
After decades of opening schools, forming leaders, refining systems, and navigating the real challenges of growth, Great Hearts is now sharing its best practices with classical schools that are willing to walk alongside us. Not as clients seeking quick solutions, but as partners committed to building schools worthy of the students and families they serve.
Built from lived experience rather than theory, Great Hearts Services offers formation, guidance, and practical support to classical schools at every stage of development. This work is grounded in what has been tested over time and proven through practice.
We support classical schools by strengthening the people, systems, and structures that sustain excellent education over time. Our work includes:
We provide formation for school leaders, administrators, and boards who are responsible not only for operations but for stewarding a vision. Through courses, seminars, and ongoing support, leaders learn how to translate ideals into daily practice.
From early vision to long-term sustainability, we help schools launch thoughtfully, grow responsibly, and remain aligned with their founding purpose as they mature.
We help schools develop governance structures, administrative systems, and organizational clarity that support healthy culture, strong leadership, and long-term stability.
This work is not about quick fixes or generic best practices. It is about building schools that endure.
Great Hearts Services is guided by a simple conviction. Classical schools thrive when vision and execution are aligned.
That means: • Clear leadership roles and responsibilities • Systems that support culture rather than replace it • Formation that shapes judgment, not just skill • Growth that strengthens mission rather than diluting it
We work alongside schools as partners, helping leaders make wise decisions rooted in purpose rather than pressure.
• New and emerging classical schools • Established schools seeking greater clarity or sustainability • Boards and leadership teams navigating growth or transition • Educators and administrators committed to long-term excellence
Whether a school is just beginning or decades into its work, our goal is the same. To help build institutions worthy of the students they serve.
The impact of Great Hearts Services is best told through the experiences of the leaders and educators we serve. We invite you to explore our testimonials to hear directly from school leaders who have partnered with us and applied this work within their own communities.
