Welcome to GEA

Welcome to Great Expectations Academy! We are a tuition free K-8 public charter school located in Sahuarita, Arizona. GEA opened its doors to students in 1999, and since then we have strived to offer quality education with a strong focus on literacy and the arts. We offer small class sizes for a more learning-friendly atmosphere, and strong parent involvement and support.   We are also home to award-winning bands, performing arts and full music program, and special education programs.
