Athletics

Upper Schools

Athletic programs for 6-12th grade students are designed to be co-curricular. Our students benefit from the development of habits and virtue as part of the athletic experience. We strive for excellence on and off the field, providing an experience that shapes our athletes to be better people. The best measure of success of a Great Hearts athletic program is found in the character of the athlete it produces. All of our students can find opportunities to be successful while also being challenged at the highest levels of athletic competition.varsity football practice

Great Hearts athletes train and practice with vigor similar to their approach in their academic pursuits. Our athletic programs foster a sense of cooperation that builds community and creates the life-long friendships. Our programs also foster team spirit and encourage the celebration of accomplishments and personal growth. Through community and building relationships, athletes are held to the highest standard of integrity and sportsmanship.

Arizona 6-8th grade athletes compete in the Great Hearts Middle School League (GHMSL). High School athletes compete in the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) or the Canyon Athletic Association (CAA).
