At Great Hearts, we believe teaching is a craft—one shaped through mentorship, reflection, and a genuine love of learning. Just ask Luis C Robles, now a Lead Teacher at #MARYVALEMARYVALE PREPARATORY ACADEMY, whose journey began as a Great Hearts Apprentice Teacher.   Mr. Robles felt drawn to the classroom because he’s always been "constantly curious" and finds joy in helping others discover something new. His goal has been to spark that same excitement for learning in his students.   Through the Apprentice Teacher program, Mr. Robles experienced the guidance and coaching he needed in order to grow as a teacher. “Being able to watch an experienced teacher lead the class taught me so much,” he shared. Observing master teachers helped him understand lesson structure, classroom management, and how to keep students truly engaged—forming a foundation he still uses today.   Mentorship shaped every step of his growth. He credits a fellow lead teacher, Ms. Cumberworth, for her example in commanding a classroom with grace and presence, as well as the diverse styles he saw from other teachers that helped him shape his own voice. And with thoughtful, consistent feedback from Assistant Headmaster Ms. Kennedy, Mr. Robles flourished.   If you’re ready to learn deeply, grow quickly, and serve with purpose, the Great Hearts Apprentice Teacher program may be your path.   Begin your journey at www.GreatHeartsCareers.org.
