Pros
The school has an excellent emphasis with its classical, liberal arts education. Teachers are generally well-motviated and given a lot of autonomy for curricular development. The Socratic method of teaching helps to foster delight in the classroom, improving retention as well as joy with the learning.
Cons
Pay and benefits are poor, as is the work/life balance. Great Hearts is suspicious os general public education, which translates with hiring to a prejudice against people with general education experience in favor of more like-minded graduates from liberal arts schools. This often leads to an imbalance of staff. The rapid growth of the network is also diving teaching talent over a wider area, with little being done in the foreseeable future to make the compensation as competitive as the vaunted education.
