Great Hearts Academies has announced plans for its newest school, which will be located in Live Oak, TX. This will be the organization’s fifth campus in the San Antonio area and will be located near the intersection of IH35 North and Northeast Loop 1604. Great Hearts will break ground on the new site, bearing the name Great Hearts Live Oak, later this fall and will open its doors to students in August 2020.
The new campus will initially serve over 600 students in grades K-7 and will expand a grade level each year until it becomes a fully enrolled K-12 campus.
