GMS is a progressive school. What does that mean?
At GMS, we provide core academics like Math, Science, Humanities, and Spanish, as well as pioneering courses that prepare students not only for high school, but for the constantly evolving world beyond. These courses include a revolutionary Computer Science curriculum, a diverse and hands-on Arts and Media curriculum, and an integrated Information Literacy program. In addition, opportunities like Intersession and the Entrepreneurial Program help build creativity, self-awareness, resilience, and empowerment.
These and other offerings make our program visionary. The way we teach this curriculum makes it educationally progressive—and even more effective.
