Archway Classical Academy - Trivium East - Great Hearts 14130 West McDowell Road, Goodyear, AZ 85395

"Both of my children attend great hearts, it has been by far one of the best decisions we have made. From the education, the teachers, the staff, we couldn’t be happier."

"So far my child has not even started at great hearts and I’m not impressed! Not very informative on items. When I have spoken to Amy Hickman, she was very Vague and just not helpful, and felt a sense of rudeness. I hope that my experience gets better or we will be going elsewhere for our child’s education."

"All smoke and mirrors folks. All smoke and mirrors. Yes, your children will have access to a more robust academic curriculum, however, don't expect them to teach it to your kids. They are hiring individuals with no degree in education, no experience in teaching, no certifications whatsoever to teach, and, often new grads with non teaching degrees to be the LEAD teacher and allowing these folks to deviate from Great Hearts Policies. No oversight of this. Despite what they say...Athenaeum is nothing more than aftercare. They don't, at least at this location, help the kids academically and certainly not individually. Arbitrary punishments, such as making a 4 yr old in week 2 of the school year (Kindergarten baby) be humiliated in front of her peers by making the child pick up others trash while they are eating because the child didn't want to eat the snack the "TEACHER" selected for her. Power corrupts...absolute power corrupts absolutely. I was so excited about Great Hearts...but this place is nothing like the reviews and all the hype described. Remember...it is essentially a franchise out of Texas...and boy are they addicted to the money these schools are pouring in. Unsuspecting parents have no idea they are merely buying access to curriculum and exposing their kids to unqualified/non certified folks off the street which results in requiring parents to teach the volumes of material to their children at home."

"Hands down the best school for your children. The faculty and staff are very nurturing. They are passionate about creating an environment for learning. Thank you for all that you do!"

"Our kids have been going to Archway for 5 years. While the curriculum can be intense at times, the kids are challenged in all the right ways. The teachers pay attention to the kids- and no one is allowed to fall behind. I would highly recommend Archway to any family!"
