Thank you for providing your feedback on the classical liberal arts mission at Great Hearts. Thank you for taking the time to address such an important issue for employees, which impacts our overall health and wellbeing. Finding balance in a work environment is a collective effort on the part of administration and the employees, and that partnership is not always aligned at times. We appreciate your input on this issue, and we have in recent years made it our goal to hire substitute teachers at various schools.

Thank you for providing your feedback on the supportive and professional working environment at Great Hearts. We appreciate the feedback on salary. We have been engaged in ongoing work on this issue for several years despite no significant funding increases from the states in which we operate, and simultaneously we must balance the need to maintain smaller class sizes, robust network resources, and safe and welcoming campuses. Great Hearts does provide excellent benefits (medical, dental, etc.), with employee premiums that are significantly below the national and regional averages. We have recently reviewed and increased our salary for the 2024-2025 school year.

We value your feedback regarding our schools. We appreciate feedback as we strive to set a standard of excellence for our students and faculty. We know all schools have room for improvement and we work with our staff to make changes. We are aware that our salaries have been lower than many district schools and some charter schools.
