Transitioning to a new school, a new schedule, and a new set of teachers and classes is a challenging element of adolescence. Add to these transitions the flurry of middle school life, which brings changes in a girl’s body, her sense of self, her friendships, and her relationships with her family. GMS students are supported throughout their experience with a variety of programs and activities specifically designed with the girls in mind. From new student orientation to academic advising to high school information nights, students and families are provided with the information they need as they transition between elementary, middle, and high school. Community building activities throughout the year, combined with weekly Social and Emotional Learning classes and advisory meetings, support girls on their journey through adolescence.
