  • Academic Program

    Committed to providing small classes, we create an engaging learning space where our team of dedicated teachers collaborate to attend to children’s individual needs.  Students benefit from diverse opportunities to learn in a setting that is safe and supportive.

  • Elementary and MS parents

    Our experience with GSMS has been overwhelmingly positive and has affirmed all our hopes on 'why' we wanted our child to attend. Many fear a 'small' school as a negative-the opposite is true and is supported by extensive research. AS GSLS your children are known as individuals, they matter, they feel a sense of connectedness within the school community and establish close relationships with their peers. There is less classroom disruption which allows for more time for instruction, teacher satisfaction and learning is enhanced. Confidence soars in an environment that is safe and open to the sharing of ideas and opinions. The goal at this critical age is to foster a passion for learning and to develop skills that they will take with them for a successful professional and personal life.

  • Elementary parent

    Thank you so much for this opportunity to join the GSLS community. We feel that the school will be a fantastic fit for our son! He is already referring to it as "his school" and talking about what he learned and observed today. The warm welcome that greeted him today was amazing, thank you again for your kindness and thoughtfulness, I cannot tell you how much my family appreciated it. Thank you again, I am so glad we landed where we were meant to be.

  • Elementary parent

    I just want to say thank you all. Since the moment we were accepted in GSLS, we heard about community, community, community. But I have to tell you, I had no idea! Our children are so happy and excited about their teachers and the challenging curriculum they are learning. My son is being pushed and challenged in ways he has always wanted, and asked for. My daughter feels safe and supported in her academic environment which makes her brave and excited for what is to come."
