Dear Prospective Students, Parents, and Guardians, 

Welcome to Glendale Preparatory Academy, an esteemed institution within the Great Hearts Academies network, situated in the heart of Peoria, Arizona. As a tuition-free, public charter school, we pride ourselves on offering an exceptional college preparatory education, rivalling the best private schools in academic rigor and moral formation. At Glendale Prep, we are not just a school; we are a community dedicated to fostering intellectual growth and character development in the leaders of tomorrow. 

Our academy stands as a pillar of academic excellence in the Glendale area, providing a unique educational experience to middle and high school students. We believe that the journey of education is about more than preparing for college; it’s about preparing for life. Our curriculum, rooted in the rich tradition of Western Civilization, is designed to challenge and inspire our students, encouraging them to explore the depths of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty – the guiding principles of our Latin motto: Verum, Pulchrum, Bonum. 

At Glendale Prep, education is a transformative journey. We offer an honors-level liberal arts curriculum that not only prepares students for the rigors of higher education but also cultivates their innate potential to lead a profound and philosophical life. Our approach to learning extends beyond academic achievement; it encompasses the development of the whole person – intellectually, morally, and socially. 

Our middle school program lays the foundation for this journey, introducing students to a broad spectrum of subjects and ideas. Here, our students begin to develop critical thinking skills, engage in meaningful discussions, and foster a love for lifelong learning. As they transition to high school, they delve deeper into the complexities of literature, mathematics, science, history, and the fine arts. This rigorous academic preparation is complemented by opportunities in athletics, arts, and community service, creating a well-rounded educational experience. 

Located in the dynamic Phoenix metropolitan area, Glendale Prep benefits from the cultural richness and diversity of its surroundings. Our students are encouraged to engage with their community, apply their learning in real-world contexts, and develop a keen awareness of their role as responsible citizens. This engagement with the broader world is an integral part of our educational philosophy, as we prepare our students to navigate the complexities of an ever-changing global landscape. 

In our commitment to making quality education accessible to all, we are proud to be a tuition-free institution. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to receive a top-tier education, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Our diverse student body is a testament to this belief, enriching our school community with a wide range of perspectives and experiences.

We understand that selecting the right school is a significant decision, and we are here to support you in this process.
