I like that there is such a strong community and focus on building that connection between students, teachers, and parents. I appreciate that this environment allows the students to feel like they can enact change when they disagree with something or see an issue.

I love the boarding environment at Garrison. Being a boarder allows you to get full access to the campus 24/7. I am able to walk around the campus even on the weekend. The community is diverse. There will be many activities throughout the year that brings the community together.

GFS is my daughter’s second family. She has been a student there for over 10 years and continues to thrive academically, socially and athletically. Her options are endless and she always has support. We appreciate GFS for setting her on a path with a bright future.

If your child is gifted in any way, this is not the school for you. Most families are receiving a lot...
