Considering the educational journey of your child is one of the most important parental roles.
Determining how you want your child to relate to learning, the experiences you wish your child to have, and the pathways of opportunity you want open to your child, are all important considerations.
It is the honor of the GSIS Admissions team to support your learning about our school and to help you discover the educational values & goals we share with you.
A good place to begin your journey is by exploring our social media, and attending a school tour. Therefore, we also strongly encourage you to visit our campus and see our students and teachers in action.
We look forward to hearing from you and to learning about your child and family!
