Watch Real Families
Great Hearts Online parents in their own words — the program that powers Virtualis today.
Below are testimonials from Great Hearts Online families. Their children receive the same classical academic program your student receives at Virtualis — we partner with Great Hearts Online to deliver their academics, then layer our Christian formation, Vitae Christian Formation curriculum, and parent partnership over the top.
“What we have come to love about Great Hearts Online is the depth of the curriculum and how engaged our children are with their teachers. They are forming friendships, learning to think, and meeting Aquinas, Augustine, and Plato — all from home.”

What Great Hearts Families Are Saying
Real families in the Great Hearts Online community — the program that powers Virtualis today.
What led us to Great Hearts was my children’s academic needs. I have three children that are dyslexic. As a mom, seeing them get the service they need is amazing. They have excelled. Great Hearts Online gives you everything you need and then some.Kristin BanyonGreat Hearts Online Family
Great Hearts Online has been revolutionary for my family. We had always wanted to homeschool but felt overwhelmed by carrying the load alone. This program is the perfect blend of rigorous and rich education combined with the nurturing environment of at-home learning.Erica McQuownGreat Hearts Online Family
The educational community is phenomenal. Our kids’ teachers connected with our children and motivated them toward academic excellence in a way that we as parents could not. Our family thrives because we became part of a like-minded educational community.Jonathon HornokGreat Hearts Online Family
“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious — if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”— Philippians 4:8
