Baton Rouge Discovered the Great Hearts Difference at Info Night

Head of School, Sam Heisman, and the faculty at Great Hearts Harveston welcomed over 50 prospective parents to an in-person information session at the new school, the first Great Hearts Academy to open in Louisiana. Info Night gave families the opportunity to see why Great Hearts Harveston is the premier college prep public charter school in Baton Rouge.

The evening was filled with informative discussions and exciting opportunities for the families in attendance. They learned more about the renowned curriculum taught by the passionate and dedicated educators at the academy. Attendees got a special behind-the-scenes look at the curriculum in action and were provided with an overview of the application process. Presenters explained the benefits of small class sizes for the scholars’ growth and development, the enrichments programs offered, and the exciting opportunities in the athletic department.

One highlight of the evening was the connections made between the perspective parents and the supportive community of current parents, staff, and current students. It was clear to everyone in attendance just how truly exceptional the school is.

A tour of the beautiful brand-new building was a treat for attendees. From the grand entry staircase, gymnasium with collegiate-sized courts, and classical art displayed throughout the hallways, to the towering arched windows throughout, this campus is truly a jewel in the community and an impressive space to inspire wonder in learning. The educational possibilities are endless with room for continued growth.

“Welcoming the community into Harveston to explore our curricula offerings, engage in dialogue with existing families about the ‘Great Hearts difference’ and witness their gaze while exploring our state-of-the-art facility was exhilarating,” said Aleashia Clarkston, Assistant Head of School. “We are offering an educational experience that will enhance the lives of our scholars and will have a profound impact on our community. Our faculty and staff provided a glance at what Harveston has to offer by providing the scope and sequence of the GHH curriculum within various contents, exploring student work samples, and discussing the learning that’s required to produce such outcomes. Insight of our ESS services, extracurricular offerings, and after-school programs were also shared with prospective families. Families were able to immerse into the GHH experience and register their scholars!”
