3 GreatHearts | 2015-2016 COLLEGE ADMISSIONS Beyond Great Hearts THE

When considering college RIGHT admissions choices, most high school students and parents give weight to majors and degree By Judi Paffenbarger, Director of College Counseling, programs, core curriculum offerings FITand Michelle Huntley, College Counselor, Veritas Prep and post-graduation outcomes. However, one important consideration too often neglected is the significance of “fit,” the affinity between the culture and character of an institution of higher learning, and the interests and habits of a prospective student.

n the 21st century market of higher education— where there are nearly 4,000 four-year institutions in the United States—significant distinctions between colleges become blurred. Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington, Illinois Applicants and parents should keep in mind there are significant qualitative differences in campus culture and educational philosophy that can be difficult toI detect amidst the sea of college email offers, test score statistics and GPA benchmarks. At Great Hearts Academies, preparation for college discernment begins long before the first application has begun. It commences in classrooms where the pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness is embodied by teachers and cultivated in each and every student. In the realm of college counseling, this education quest shapes how we guide students through the college admissions process. Students take stock of their personal goals, traits, interests and concerns in light of the ends of a good college education. They also ask questions that include (and go beyond): “Does the school offer a biology major?” “Will I be able to study abroad in France?” U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado “Is there an intramural volleyball league?”

4 GreatHearts | 2015-2016 While these questions are important, they are not sufficient for a Great Hearts At Great Hearts student. John Henry Newman wrote that the purpose of a university is to “educate the Academies, intellect to reason well in all matters, to reach out towards truth, and to grasp it.” He goes on in The Idea of a University to preparation for say, “a university training is the great ordinary means to a great but ordinary end.” While there is a clear and simple end to college discernment a college education, not all approaches to it are the best fit for every student. In fact, most students who transfer colleges or begins long before universities do so because they feel that they don’t fit in with the campus culture. As Great Hearts counselors, our aim is the first application to help students recognize and choose for themselves the colleges or universities that has begun. will enable them to flourish. For some students, like Cadence Lamb (Veritas Prep ’12), it was Illinois Wesleyan University “I was looking for a school that could (IWU), a small liberal arts institution in challenge me in many ways and always Bloomington, Illinois.

“To send light into the darkness of men’s hearts - such is the duty of the artist.” – Robert Schumann

usic has always played an important role in my life. I recognized from a young age that music has a great effect on my soul, and I knew I wanted to share this great gift with others. Music has Mthe power to lift me out of the world as it is and take me to a place of joy and happi- ness, a place outside my current situation, and gives me a chance to see things in a new and better light. It gives me strength when I have none and joy when sorrow abounds. As a result, I have spent my life in pursuit of good music of all genres, and learning about the great people who have shared their talent with us. I have spent time studying the finest musical works and performing as often as I could. My progression from loving music on my own to sharing it with others came when I started performing professionally. I come alive on stage, and I get to see the audience come alive as well. I feel emotions more distinctly and powerfully than in everyday life. I also find new ways to focus and have thereby learned how to be truly in the moment. When I am on stage I have the opportunity to create and be a totally different person. I am, therefore, able to understand more clearly who I am. Another way I have learned to share my passion for music is through teaching. While attending graduate school in San Photo by Josh Huskin

JANE AUSTEN As a child, the English novelist read voraciously and began writing stories as early as age 12, completing a novella at age 14.

PLATO The Athenian philosopher is one of the most important figures of the Ancient Greek world and the entire history of Western thought.

WALT WHITMAN Although the American poet loved music and books, he left school at the age of 14 to become a journeyman printer. Later, he worked as a teacher, journalist, editor, carpenter, and SIR ISSAC NEWTON held various other jobs to support his writing. English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton, most famous for his law of gravitation, was instrumental in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

This process, repeated in all of our classes every day over the course of 13 years of a Great Hearts’ education, fosters brilliant thought, words and deeds from our students.

Closing the gap Creativity is often linked to something that leads to innovation. But the goal of creativity, however, is not to be innovative for innovation’s sake. Innovation is needed because of some deficit, absence or problem that currently exists. The innovation is then an improvement on the not-as-good- as-it could be reality. We recognize that something could be better and then aim to improve the outcome. Improvements cannot be made without enhancing the thought surrounding what is currently occurring. In some cases, greater diligence or commitment is needed to reach success, but creativity recognizes what is getting in the way of making something better and seeks to remedy Photo by Jared Platt that problem. Creativity knows that “willing” change/ improvement is naïve; for if we could will things to be better, then we would.

The ancient Greeks, our teachers in so many things, would have asked a different question: “How could education NOT include goodness?” The Greeks believed that there was no difference between the physical, intellectual and moral powers of the human person. Young people needed training—i.e. education—in each one of these areas in order to reach their full po- Ttential. The body, the intellect and the moral habits of what the Greeks called the soul all were thought to require education.

They are comfortable modeling what is right and avoiding what is wrong in their actions, and they are comfortable talking about such things when appropriate. They cannot be philosophically or personally lax relativists. Good teachers must always be good people, who hold themselves to standards, exhibit virtue themselves and serve as constant models for the students. And it is worth re-emphasizing the wisdom of the saying that character is caught, not taught. Preaching and moralizing seldom have the desired effect on the young mind. Being exposed to good adult role models and inspired to imitate them is all-important. In addition to the living, breathing role models of the teachers, a school that is taking its responsibilities

43 GreatHearts | 2015-2016 PARTNERS IN THE MISSION Great Hearts Academies

In August, Great Hearts Academies was awarded a four-year grant from the Yelp Foundation in support of our mission to transform students into great-hearted leaders. This partnership grew out of the dedicated efforts of Chandler Prep alumna Nadia Barduson, a Yelp employee in Phoenix. Nadia had the opportunity to present on Great Hearts to a panel of her peers, using communication and critical thinking skills she gained during her time at Great Hearts. We are grateful for her efforts and appreciate the Yelp Foundation’s support of education. The Yelp Foundation supports charitable organizations addressing the needs of local communities, including access to information, education, local economic development, and freedom of expression, and to promote a culture of philanthropy among employees of Yelp Inc. We are thankful to have them as a partner.

These Great Hearts academies are located in traditionally underserved Phoenix neighborhoods, and donations to the fund support the teachers and students in the classroom with supplies, books and school uniforms. This year, commitments from families across the network to the Great Hearts Greater Good Fund increased by more than $25,000 in support of the students and teachers at Teleos Prep and Maryvale Prep from the prior year. In this same spirit, Great Hearts San Antonio received a $500,000 gift to support uniforms, educational supplies, after-school programs, and sports fees for our scholars from a low-income background.

Uniform Partnership This year, Great Hearts teamed up with Phoenix Rotary 100, Assistance League of Phoenix, BHHS Legacy Foundation and Anton Uniforms to provide free uniforms and school supplies to 485 students at Maryvale and Teleos Prep. We are grateful for the collaboration of these community-minded organizations to help transform the lives of students and their families.

Generous Family Support In the 2014-2015 school year, there were 6,736 families in the Great Hearts network. A total of 5,653 families (84 percent) made a financial gift to their school. These gifts ranged from $5 to $250,000 and were made to efforts 84%or such as our Community Investment campaigns, tax credit drives, and capital campaigns. 5,653 of Great Hearts families supported their school financially this year
