Great Hearts Academies reviews

Thank you so much! We strive to set a standard of excellence for our students with a focus on a rich liberal arts curriculum and emphasis on moral formation. Thank you for providing us with feedback on the salary scale for teachers and teaching assistants at Great Hearts. We are aware that our salaries are lower than some other schools. 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 value constructive feedback which we review for consideration. We strive to have a great learning environment for our students and support our faculty and staff. Thanks for your constructive feedback regarding our school leadership. We acknowledge that there are always areas of improvement for Great Hearts, including retention and recruitment of experienced and highly competent administrators. As with any school leadership role, the leadership competencies at Great Hearts are broad in scope, and in addition, we value leaders who bring the classical liberal arts vision to bear on the culture and community. That broad scope is challenging for any one person to balance, but the network invests fully in leadership development and also utilizes faculty and family surveys to help leaders develop a greater awareness for the areas of growth. Please know that your comments are valued and reviewed to help us ever improve in this very human endeavor.
