Enrollment FAQ
What is the yearly tuition at Great Hearts?
Great Hearts academies are public and tuition-free, so no tuition may be charged for grades 1-12, or for half-day Kindergarten. For parents who desire their Kindergarten student to attend full-day kindergarten, please reach out to your local academy for pricing details.
If I have a child who receives an offer and is registered, does my other child get sibling priority status or an offer as well?
At Great Hearts this is called Sibling Priority Status. While Sibling Priority Status does not guarantee an offer of enrollment, it does significantly improve the likelihood. Once one student is fully enrolled (i.e., when s/he has accepted an enrollment offer and submitted all required registration paperwork), any of the fully enrolled student’s siblings who are on a waitlist will receive Sibling Priority Status and move up the waitlist accordingly.
What is the Open Enrollment Timeline for the 26-27 School Year?
Submit your Applications from October 20, 2025 - December 31, 2025 to be submitted into our lottery.

"Amazing School! Teachers and staff are so invoked and really love teaching the kids."
"I’ve had my girls at this school for over four years, and I love it! They struggled in public school, but MVP helped them thrive, now they’re A+ students. The teachers truly care, the front office staff is amazing, and they stay on top of my daughter’s IEP. I also love the curriculum, after-school activities, and the supportive community."
"But, what I would say is most impressive about the Great Hearts Schools in General, and Glendale Prep in Particular, is that when you see them at a sports event, the kids are respectful, polite, and extremely engaging."
