My son is smart, but In middle school (grades 6-8) he was a lazy student that earned B or C grades on his report card. At Gann Academy we witnessed a transformation. The teachers encouraged and supported him to reach his full potential. He loved his teachers. Here is one example. He started 9th grade in the lowest level math class. By 12th grade he took the most advanced B/C Calculus class. Gann is also a high school driven by Jewish values. I am glad to say that Gann helped my son to become a more caring individual who tries to help others that are less fortunate than he is.

We could not be happier with our childrens' experience at Gann. A warm and nurturing environment based on strong foundation of Jewish values, coupled with outstanding academics and extra curricular opportunities, results in a unique high school experience not found at other schools.

Gann is such a bad school they pretend to care but they just care about their Public Relations and not the student. They force to students to believe their opinions and are a bad not caring school. Save your tine.

Happy Healthy Highschool were kids can thrive. As parents we couldn't be happier with the education our son has received. Both academically and from a whole-child, values-based education. He has exceeded our expectations, in large part, as a result of the education at Gann Academy.
