OCT. 29th OPEN HOUSE →

Our academy stands as a testament to our commitment to nurturing well-educated individuals who embody the habits of mind and heart aligned with what is True, Good, and Beautiful. We believe that educating young minds is an act of love, one that elevates human dignity and prepares scholars for a lifetime of learning and leadership in the renewal of our culture. Our mission is grounded in the belief that the Lord desires individuals who can carry on His work with wisdom, virtue, and integrity.

At Great Hearts Catalyst, we understand that education is a partnership. In close collaboration with churches and families, we strive to offer a Christian educational experience that is truly accessible to all, regardless of income. We are committed to providing financial aid options and maintaining low tuition costs, ensuring that our Christian-classical education is within reach of every family seeking to join our community.

Our academy welcomes students from kindergarten through middle school, providing an enriching environment that fosters the development of each child’s intellectual, moral, and spiritual character. In our kindergarten and elementary grades, children are introduced to the joy and wonder of learning, nurtured in an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and a love for Jesus. Our educators, some of the finest in the country, are deeply committed to nurturing each child’s potential, guiding them through an enriching curriculum that lays a solid foundation for future academic and personal growth.

As students progress into middle school, they encounter a curriculum that deepens their understanding of classical liberal arts, intertwined with Christian teachings. Our middle school program challenges students to think critically, engage thoughtfully with complex ideas, and develop a coherent worldview grounded in Christian principles. We cultivate scholars who are not only academically accomplished but also virtuous, compassionate, and committed to making a positive impact in the world.

Great Hearts Catalyst is more than just a school; it is a vibrant faith-based community where students, families, and educators come together to celebrate learning, faith, and the development of character. Our school culture is marked by a shared commitment to the teachings of Jesus and the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of life. We encourage our students to live out their faith through acts of service, kindness, and a deep commitment to the values that underpin our Christian ethos.

Located in the heart of Maryvale, our campus offers a unique educational environment where the timeless beauty of the classical tradition meets the transformative power of Christian education. We invite you to visit us, meet our dedicated faculty, and experience firsthand the nurturing and intellectually stimulating atmosphere of our school.

Great Hearts Catalyst stands as a beacon of Christian classical education, providing a unique learning experience that prepares students for a life of intellectual, moral, and spiritual fulfillment. We are excited about the possibility of welcoming your family into our community and embarking together on this enriching educational journey.

We look forward to meeting you and sharing the exceptional early learning experience that Great Hearts Catalyst offers. Join us as we nurture the hearts and minds of the next generation of leaders, grounded in the teachings of Jesus and committed to the renewal of our culture.

In Faith,
Dr. Toyin Atolagbe
Executive Director, Great Hearts Catalyst
