The Great Hearts endeavor is held together by a north star that we all seek — virtue. Ultimately, education is not just about forming smart scholars, but about forming flourishing, great-hearted human beings. We believe our students’ character and talents can spark a renaissance in civic life in which a search for what is good is the essential starting point.
