We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

One of the biggest opportunities at The Gilbert School are classes in TV production and animation. It is one few schools that has a green screen. The classes offered in Music are also popular. Something that many students would like to change is school lunch.
