Why Families Choose Great Hearts Roosevelt
Mission-Driven Excellence
Everything we do points back to the pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Our well-rounded curriculum—literature, mathematics, science, fine arts, and humanities—invites students into the “Great Conversation” of the Western Tradition.
Personal Growth & High Expectations
From free full-day kindergarten through eleventh grade, Socratic dialogue sparks curiosity while clear routines foster both joy and order. Students meet high academic standards and are mentored by teachers who know and love them.
Character at the Core
Courage, temperance, justice, and wisdom guide daily life. The best schools shape hearts as well as minds, forming compassionate young citizens ready to serve their communities.
Academic life at Great Hearts Roosevelt begins with wonder and matures into mastery.
Elementary-grade teachers introduce students to the great stories of the West—Aesop, Homer, and Frederick Douglass—while Singapore Math lessons turn abstractions into colorful bar models that even five-year-olds can manipulate. A dual-language Spanish enrichment block in grades K-5 reinforces phonetic awareness and opens a second linguistic doorway, giving bilingual families affirmation and monolingual families a gift that will serve them for decades. Middle-school scholars encounter the formal tools of the Trivium: Latin paradigms strengthen logical thought, Euclid’s Elements reveal that truth can be demonstrated step by orderly step, and science labs ask students to measure desert water retention before proposing conservation solutions for their own neighborhood. By the time students enter high school, the curriculum has widened into an honors sequence recognizable to any classical preparatory academy: literature and Humane Letters every day for two hours, mathematics through calculus, laboratory sciences anchored in original texts, and upper-division Spanish or Latin that equips graduates to read Cervantes or Cicero without translation.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
• Field studies that highlight the unique ecology and history of the West Valley
