Programs

GMS provides an unusually wide variety of core and elective courses, along with an array of sports, expeditions, and extracurriculars. We create an energizing and encouraging environment so your child can try new experiences, discover new skills, and succeed and fail with equal enthusiasm

Open-ended, collaborative projects energize our way of teaching and learning, empowering all students to offer their talents, interests, and support to each other. By cooperating on shared goals and collective solutions, our students bring out the best in themselves and their classmates.

Instead of imposing traditional letter grades, our teachers offer extensive feedback and work with each child to set individual goals, help them reflect on progress and challenges, and identify opportunities for further growth. Our approach teaches children to focus on the ongoing process of growing, stretching, and becoming—rather than sprinting to the finish line of a final score. We foster self-motivation and a love of learning, as students pursue deeper understanding for its own sake.

In this time of intense intellectual, social-emotional, and physical changes, GMS teachers expertly tend to all aspects of your child’s development, both in and far beyond the classroom. Our compassionate learning community knows, understands, and supports all students for who they are—and who they are becoming.

At GMS, we continually work to create and sustain an inclusive community that fosters genuine belonging. We strive to close gaps in opportunity associated with race, ethnicity, and gender, because a truly diverse community enriches the learning experience for everyone. Our multicultural curriculum empowers all students to see themselves in their education and to share and celebrate their heritage.
