I went to Gerstell 8-12th grades. I had a great time with friends, sports, and teachers. Everyone knows everyone and teachers are easy to connect with. The principles, attributes, and leadership model is the best thing at Gerstell. Everything in the Book of Knowledge is drilled into my head. The leadership classes we take are very beneficial to real-life scenarios as well. I really love Gerstell and I am thankful for what they have taught me.

My husband and I have been thrilled with Gerstell for our daughter! We especially appreciate how hard the school has worked to provide a safe on-campus experience during this pandemic. Thank you, Gerstell Academy!!!

Not worth the money. Faculty may care about your students, but that doesn't mean they are qualified to teach in their subject matter. No counselors for mental health support, and hostile environment amongst students. It's a new school, but I still expect them to be put together in their activities and curricular. Very disappointing.
