  • Our Philosophy

    We believe excellence in education occurs through: 

  • Dynamic Relationships and Partnerships

    Each member of our community is valued and brings a unique set of talents, gifts, and perspective. Everyone is welcome at our table. 

  • Excellent Instruction

    Professional educators that are dedicated to our students in caring, innovative and purposeful ways. We believe a well-constructed question is just as meaningful as an insightful answer.

  • A Compassionate Community

    Every day, we model and teach inclusion, kindness, personal growth, justice, and empathy—building a campus where all students feel seen, supported, and valued.

  • Lifetime Preparation

    Through rigorous academics, vibrant arts education, and intentional social-emotional learning, we prepare students to lead with integrity, think critically, and engage the world with confidence, creativity, and compassion.

  • Vision

    GSLS creates a learning community that values the self-worth and dignity of our young scholars and the relationships they forge. We aspire and work towards developing our students into moral, compassionate and wise citizens.

  • Committment

    GSLS is committed to creating an inclusive and equitable community in which all individuals can participate in and contribute to the life of the school. We actively work to gain a deeper understanding of each other and how we honor it in our daily lives at school.
