2025-2026 Academic Calendar
IMPORTANT CHANGES – PLEASE READ!
Change in official school times: Lower School and Upper School = 8:00am-3:35pm, Monday-Thursday. 8:00am-1:35pm, early-release Fridays.
Front Office Changes: Next school year, the front offices for the Lower School and the Upper School will be entirely separate. This means that parents will need to visit the Lower School office to pick up their Kinder-5th grade scholars, and visit the Upper School office to pick up their 6th-11th grade scholars.
Carline will also have some changes! Next year, families will need to exclusively use the front carline to pick up their Lower School scholars, and go around the building to the back carline to pick up their Upper School scholars.
Morning Carline: 7:25am-7:55am
Afternoon Carline: 3:35pm-4:15pm Monday-Thursday, 1:35pm-2:15pm early-release Fridays.
Walk-Up Dismissal and Student Walkers: We unfortunately cannot offer a walk-up dismissal option, and students walking home will be limited to only families who live within a 2-mile radius of Great Hearts Arlington. Before the start of the school year, families who wish to apply will be sent an address verification form to receive approval for their students to walk home.
