Our Mission
About Us
At Great Hearts Harveston, students from kindergarten through high school rise each morning to pursue Truth, Goodness, and Beauty—the heartbeat of every Great Hearts academy. Within calm, orderly classrooms, young people learn to think clearly, speak eloquently, and act with virtue.
What Makes Our Classical Education Approach Different?
- Kindergarten and Growing to 12th Grade, One-Campus Continuity. From phonograms and Singapore Math in the early grades to Euclid, Latin, and Humane Letters in high school, students experience a seamless journey that deepens knowledge and character year after year.
- Rich Well-Rounded Curriculum. Literature, history, mathematics, science, and the fine arts are taught in dialogue with the great ideas of the Western tradition, awakening wonder and cultivating disciplined, joyful minds.
- Two-Teacher Model in the Lower School. A lead teacher and an assistant guide every K-5 classroom, ensuring personal attention and the steady encouragement young scholars need to flourish.
- Joy & Order Campus Culture. Uniforms, screen-free classrooms, and orderly routines create the calm needed for confident voices and vivid imagination to thrive.
- Virtue in Daily Practice. Classic texts and purposeful habits nurture courage, friendship, and wisdom—virtues woven into lessons, athletics, and service projects alike.
- Rooted in Baton Rouge. Our campus embraces the cultural richness of Louisiana while partnering closely with families who believe challenging academics and strong character go hand in hand.

Extracurricular Activities
Academics at Great Hearts Harveston are challenging, yet they always begin with wonder.
In the lower school classrooms (K-5), students memorize poetry aloud, build bar-model diagrams in Singapore Math, and paint still-lifes in the style of Cézanne to train the eye for Beauty. These early lessons cultivate precision and imagination in equal measure. In middle school, the curriculum widens: Latin conjugations sharpen syntactic insight; Euclid’s proofs teach that truth can be demonstrated step by logical step; laboratory experiments translate abstract ratios into visible reactions. By high school, Harveston students tackle an honors schedule that rivals elite preparatory institutes—calculus, physics, Virgil, Dante, American founding documents—all discussed round-table style so that reasoning and articulation mature together.
