To request a transfer for your student within the Great Hearts network of academies in either Arizona or Texas please review the forms, policies and procedures provided.
Great Hearts Transfer Policy and Form
A student may only request a transfer to one specific Great Hearts academy. In the case of siblings, transfer requests submitted for one sibling must be for the same recipient school as transfer requests submitted for all other siblings. Transfer requests are reviewed by the desired academy, and your application will be marked for “transfer priority” status once the request is approved. Students eligible for transfer are required to start attending their current academy at or before the beginning of the second semester and must successfully complete the academic year at that academy to be eligible to transfer to their new academy of choice for the following school year. Transfer priority status does not guarantee enrollment, but rather it places the transfer application in a prioritized position on the waitlist for the desired academy and the desired grade. Students requesting a transfer must not be in the process of being expelled from their current academy.
