Initially drawn to Great Hearts because of the unique ESS Coordinator role, Rebecca Conforto had been searching for a position that enabled her to utilize skills in support of both students and staff. In her 6 years with Great Hearts, she has served as ESS Coordinator, English Language Coordinator, ESS Academy Lead and ESS Academy Director. In her leadership of ESS and EL Programs at one of Great Hearts largest academies, she is also a member of the Archway Scottsdale administrative team. She shared, “The ESS, EL, and administrative teams I've worked with at Great Hearts have shaped me significantly each year. I learn something new and different from each team member, each day!” In her role as Academy Director, she reflected, “The most challenging aspect of the role is balancing the tension of going 'into the weeds' when the department needs extra support, while still maintaining my gaze from 'the balcony' to ensure everything continues working together effectively for our students.” Ultimately, she finds fulfillment through the transformative relationships built in her community and this year has taken a new role in administration as Dean of Students! Are you seeking a unique path in education full of rich relationships, new opportunities, and a clear mission?

Classical Education. Revolutionary Schools.
About us
Since its inception, Great Hearts has been on a mission to become a national leader in public charter schools. We work tirelessly to ensure our students receive an outstanding classical liberal arts education. Our program is anchored in exceptional teaching from the best in the profession and the support of committed families who make each school a thriving community. Today, we serve more than 25,000 students at 45 academies across Arizona, Louisiana, and Texas as well as through our online academies. From our humble beginnings as a single entity in rented space, we have become Arizona’s largest not-for-profit charter school network, the largest “brick and mortar” classical education provider in the country, and we are excited about working with new partners to extend this education to eager students nationwide. We gladly prepare our graduates for success in the best universities in the nation, but our main purpose is the formation of the soul, heart, and mind. We believe that the highest goal of education is to become good, intellectually and morally.

Network Director of People Operations Damia McWatters started her journey with Great Hearts in the classroom over ten years ago. Initially drawn to join Great Hearts as an Apprentice Teacher, she shared, “I wanted better for American K-12 education than what I had seen of my own. Great Hearts is more than a rigorous curriculum—the attention to cultivating both hearts and minds in pursuit of truth, beauty, and goodness is compelling.” After teaching 4th and 5th Grade for a number of years, Ms. McWatters joined the PD team as National Professional Development Manager, where she was responsible for much of the course design for the entire network. She credits the people of Great Hearts for helping her experience “a beautiful culture of generosity and learning.” She loves the challenge of working toward smoother onboarding systems and overall systems integrations in her Operations role. “I enjoy the technical side of our work, and I even enjoy grumbling over a good spreadsheet puzzle from time to time, but I suppose any real sense of fulfillment found in those things comes from knowing that ultimately, our work helps support the good work that happens on campus.” Join Damia and countless others who have joined Great Hearts as an Apprentice Teacher. With a network of rich development opportunities and expansive growth ahead, you will find a new and fulfilling opportunity at every turn – apply today! https://lnkd.in/g3uF39sd #classicaleducation #hiring #teachingjobs
