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.

As a recent GFS alum, I wouldn’t recommend it. There are better schools in the area that actually challenge and support their students. At GFS, as long as you're passing, they don’t really care.

This review is for the lower school; we ended up applying out. We had some really great teachers, and then in like a years time all of the staff either retired or quit. Academics here are very slow. If your child is gifted in any way, this is not the school for you. Most families are receiving a lot...
