We know there are many aspects to our dress code and uniform. Though our expectation is that the entirety of the uniform is adhered to, we want to give some special emphasis to particular areas of our expectations weekly so we can deep dive into any questions you may have. This week, we ask that all families especially take a close look at our policy on student shoes and socks. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to Mary Pim, our Dean of Students.

Register for Athenaeum, the Great Hearts After School Program

After-School Athenaeum is focused on the liberal arts and promotes learning by providing students dedicated homework time in addition to a diverse array of culturally enriching, academically oriented activities beyond the classroom. Our activities and lessons are aimed at improving students’ scholastic performance by reinforcing the lessons, virtues and curriculum of the classroom.

But it’s not all academics! Athenaeum scholars also enjoy time for recreation, games, socializing and just plain fun. Athenaeum runs daily from the dismissal bell (even on early release and half-days) until 6:00 p.m. Flexible and affordable options are available to fit any family’s after-school needs.
 

Register for Young Hearts - The First Ever Great Hearts Preschool!

Registration is now open for the first ever Great Hearts Preschool, Young Hearts! The preschool will be on the east end of the campus. It will be run as an independent program from Great Hearts Roosevelt, but we will be working closely together to create a unifying experience for our families.
