The pilot Great Minds Schools site, located in Florence, Arizona, has hosted hundreds of visitors interested in the role of high-quality curriculum in school improvement. The school has also served a site for academic research into the support required for effective curriculum implementation and into the factors and context essential to effective curriculum adoptions.
