Giving Tuesday: Meet the Margison Family from Chandler Prep

Chandler Prep December 1, 2025

At Chandler Prep, Giving Tuesday is more than just a date on the calendar, it’s a moment to pause and reflect on the incredible difference that our families, teachers, and supporters make every single day.Giving Tuesday Logo

When you give to Chandler Prep, a 501c3 nonprofit charter school, you’re helping to sustain the mission that makes Great Hearts so special. Your generosity ensures that our students continue to benefit from a rich classical education that shapes not only their minds but also their hearts. Every donation stays right here at our academy and directly supports the teachers, programs, and opportunities that help our students grow into thoughtful, virtuous young people ready to lead lives of purpose and integrity.

Today, we ask that you take a moment to read this testimonial from one of our own families as they share their reasons for choosing Great Hearts and their commitment to giving. These words echo the sentiments of so many of our families and capture exactly why parent partnership is essential to the Great Hearts model.

Margison Family

“We are happy to contribute to Community Investment because we know these funds directly impact our students. From the excellent curriculum that integrates the arts, to the extensive availability of tutoring and individualized support from teachers, our children receive the time and attention rarely found at other schools. We are especially grateful for the full-time college counselors who guide families step-by-step through the often-daunting process of tests, applications, and scholarships. The teachers bring each subject to life in a tangible and engaging way, and the culture of respect andappreciation for beauty in both life and learning is something truly special. We feel so fortunate to be part of this community.”

-The Margison Family

We invite you to join the Margison family and us in strengthening the mission that brings our vibrant educational experience to life. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a lasting impact on our students, teachers, and families. Together, we can continue shaping minds and hearts for generations to come.
