WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!
Our Headmasters have had some fun this week raising awareness for Community Investment through their newly-formed rock band, "The Round Table." In case you missed it, check out their videos on Facebook or Instagram. But don't stop there! Your student's classical liberal arts education is made possible by parents and community members like you who unify us through giving to our Community Investment campaign each year. We need everyone to participate as every donation, regardless of the size, goes a long way to keeping our school fully funded.
Thank you to every family in our community who has already partnered with us to provide the important work being done in your student's classroom each day.
Let’s rally for Unity in our Community with gifts to Community Investment and grow a beautiful culture of generosity for our children together.

Each week, our Middle School Assistant Headmaster, Mr. Dorion Simmons, shares practical tips for student success.
Middle School Scholar Independence
Middle School scholars need their parents to be involved. As scholars navigate their newfound independence, they want to be able to focus on their social relationships and their identity. Even though a scholar will naturally want to resist your guidance, they will need boundaries and structure to help form their budding identities and social relationships.

EF Tours Summer 2025 Trip Info Meeting - September 16 | |
Take a multi-city lap around the Alps for a comprehensive understanding of the region’s people and traditions.
From Munich’s Hofbräuhaus, where Mozart once wrote an opera, to the Floating City of Venice—which is full of some of the world’s most exquisite art and architecture—the history is as rich as the food. Before you leave, pause for reflection at Lucerne’s Lion Monument, commemorating Swiss Guards killed in the French Revolution, which Mark Twain described as “the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.”
Bo Faser (longtime Trivium teacher) has partnered with EF Tours to lead a student tour in July 2025. We would love for you to be a part of it. There will be an information meeting on 9/16/2024 at 6pm in the Trivium Prep MPR.
RSVP for the meeting or, if you can’t make the meeting, request the info to be sent after the meeting at this link below. Reach out with any questions: bfaser@greatheartsamerica.org.
