Great Hearts Online

At Great Hearts, we exist to cultivate the minds and hearts of students through the pursuit of Truth (Verum), Goodness (Pulchrum), and Beauty (Bonum). We believe human beings were created to discover Truth, to practice Goodness, and respond to Beauty. Everything that we do at Great Hearts brings us back to our mission of pursuing what is real, what is right, and what is lasting:

Truth

We believe that Truth exists, and we must seek it relentlessly by disciplined study and good-willed conversation.

Goodness

Liberal education consists of cognitive, emotional, and moral education—thinking deeply, loving noble things, and living well together. We believe, with Plato, that the highest goal of education is to become good, intellectually, and morally.

Beauty

We believe that beauty is not merely in the eye of the beholder, and that the classic forms and works of Western music, drama, and visual art should play the central role in forming aesthetic judgment.
