Giving Tuesday: Meet the Sirianni Family from Arete Prep

At Arete 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.When you give to Arete 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.

“We give to Arete Prep community investment because I’ve seen firsthand the difference it makes. These donations directly support the programs that bring learning to life — art, music, and science — the things that inspire creativity and curiosity in our kids.

It also helps provide additional teaching support in the classroom, which has been such a blessing for my younger child. Having two teachers ensures that every student gets more attention, encouragement, and guidance.

I give because I know my contribution helps create the kind of education I want for my children — one that is well-rounded, nurturing, and full of opportunities to grow.”

-The Sirianni Family
