At Great Hearts Texas academies, our students don’t just read whole books—they fully immerse themselves in the stories and ideas of classics--cultivating conversations about humanity’s greatest questions.

Breaking New Ground on Story Road! This December, the Great Hearts Irving community came together to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Story Road campus for Great Hearts Irving Lower School! Attendees took a short, ceremonial walk from the current facility on the same road, which has been the home of the Lower School Mustangs for a decade, to the site of the new campus. The event brought together current and legacy families, dedicated faculty, campus leaders, and Great Hearts Texas board members to mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter for classical education in Irving, TX. In his address, Headmaster Charles Brogan shared: "Together, we are building on the legacy of excellence that defines Great Hearts Texas. This new campus represents not just a physical expansion but a reaffirmation of our commitment to academic rigor and character development for generations to come." The existing Story Road campus is a testament to Great Hearts Texas's mission of providing exceptional education to more families in the region. As we move into 2025, we look forward to witnessing the transformation of this vision into reality as a new facility is prepared to serve Great Hearts' Classical Charter mission in Irving, Texas. #GreatHeartsIrving #IrvingStrongFutureBright #GreatHeartsTexas #ClassicalEducation #Groundbreaking #IrvingTXSchools #IrvingLowerSchool #CharterSchoolsTX
