Dear Great Hearts Families,
Please take 7-10 minutes to help us make a good thing better! This survey is a key tool to help us understand what is important to each of you and where we can improve Great Hearts. Your responses are anonymous. Everything you write will be read by your headmaster and regional executive team to help identify and prioritize areas for improvement in the coming year.
Please take one survey for each school where you have a child enrolled and note that Archway and Prep are different schools.
The survey will remain available until 11:59 PM PST on March 31. Please contact Katie Carmer atkcarmer@greatheartsamerica.org with questions or if you have difficulties completing the survey.
Additionally, if you would like to speak with your headmaster or someone at your child’s school about a specific issue or concern, you are always welcome to contact the school directly.
