The entire environment of GLS is so accepting, kind, and firm. I was worried about the environment of public schools which brought us here. This school has exceeded my expectations. My daughter isn't lost. Curriculum can be taught in multiple ways, with lots of projects, and field trips, it isn't strictly scripted as it is in public school, my child gets more one on one attention, her class size is 13 students, it is SAFE, and I don't worry about bullying/drugs/weapons. They also have sports. My gut feeling about this school was right. We are blessed to be a part of the GLS family.
