In total, four prep schools within the Great Hearts network achieved top spots in the ranking of Arizona charter high schools: Chandler Prep at No. 3, Veritas Prep at No. 4, Glendale Prep at No. 5 and Arete Prep at No. 11.
Great Hearts provides a liberal arts curriculum incorporating advanced math and science, a focus on the arts and foreign language, and a range of extra-curricular activities and athletics.
These rankings take into account key factors such as the strength of academics, quality of teachers, school resources, the quality of student life, as well as student and parent reviews, in an attempt to measure the overall excellence of the school.
“Great Hearts academies provide an unparalleled liberal arts education that encourages students to grow into focused and mature leaders,” said Christine Jones, interim CEO. “It’s wonderful to see our academies recognized by such a comprehensive ranking system, which reflects so many of the factors we value in our educational model.”
