A classical education in a public charter school.
What is a classical education?
Picture yourself in museum gallery that stretches so far that its end disappears from view. On the walls, you'll find an array of paintings, both grand and intimate. Marble sculptures are scattered throughout.
However, this museum isn't solely dedicated to art. As you start your journey down the gallery, you'll see several large rooms branching off from the main gallery.
In one room, you see a full-sized tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. In the next room, you find a large window offering a view into a lab, where men and women in white coats are diligently at work.
This museum holds an abundance of objects and knowledge, enough to occupy a lifetime.
That’s what classical education is like. It is a return to the ancient goal of education: empowering individuals to think critically and learn independently.
We are a public charter school.
As a a public school, we educate any child regardless of ability or socio-economic background.
As a charter school, we do not rely on local property tax revenue. We have to supplement our funding from the state with financial support from our community. No gift is too small, no gift is too large.

Will you give with your Great Heart?
To cultivate a community of courageous scholars who embrace the challenges of learning, become active participants in their own education, and embody the virtues of perseverance and integrity .
Unlike public schools, charter schools do not receive any local property tax dollars for operations or state funding for facilities maintenance. This creates a large gap in our operating budget and our ability to deliver the top-tier education that children deserve. That’s where Community Investment steps in. Donations from our families and local partners help to cover that gap. It helps us keep our student to teacher ratio low and offer programs such as fine arts, sports, foreign language and many others. It is also used to keep your child safe and secure and our facilities up-to-date and well maintained. And remember, 100% of donations stay right here at Great Hearts Lakeside so that we can use them when and where we need them the most.
