Welcome to Great Hearts Blossom Rock
Dear Families and Friends of the East Valley,
Welcome to an exciting new chapter in the educational landscape of Apache Junction, Arizona. It is with immense pride and boundless optimism that we introduce Great Hearts Blossom Rock, a beacon of classical education poised to illuminate the minds and spirits of our youngest learners. Nestled in Blossom Rock, near the vibrant community of Eastmark, our tuition-free public charter school is dedicated to nurturing the hearts and minds of students from kindergarten through elementary grades.
The Great Hearts Distinction
What Makes Our Classical Approach Different?
• Well-Rounded Learning. Students build strong foundations in reading, writing, math, science, and history while exploring Latin roots, music, art, and daily physical education. This nurtures both mind and heart, helping children discover the “best that has been thought and said.”
• Two Teachers in Every K-5 Room. A lead teacher and an assistant ensure personal attention, orderly routines, and the space for wonder to flourish.
• Socratic Conversation. Guided dialogue teaches students to listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and defend ideas with humility and courage—skills that serve them far beyond the classroom, even at a young age.
• Virtue in Action. We speak openly about virtues like courage, friendship, and justice, weaving character formation into daily lessons and playground moments alike.
