As an alumnus of GMS, I can confidently say almost anyone will benefit from the GMS experience. All teachers are very supportive of students' learning and development and have good relationships with students. Students and staff all know each other and generally form a family. I made so many good friends there, and I felt free to be whoever I wanted to be. I am so grateful for my GMS experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone else thinking of applying or attending.

The targeted focus (all girls middle school) ofGMS filled my daughter, now a Sophomore, with the confidence and clarity to tackle high school. As a product of the progressive atmosphere provided at GMS she is comfortable in her own skin and ready to tackle the world.

This school was the best school I have ever attended. It has given me self confidence and amazing insight into academics. The teachers are very kind, understanding and energetic about their subjects, making personal relationships with each student a must. When I started I was very unorganized. The t...
