Gulliver Schools has been an amazing educational institution for my children. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The school is well-organized and provides a safe and enriching environment for learning. My children have had the opportunity to explore a wide variety of topics, while still receiving a strong foundation in traditional academic subjects. They have enjoyed the extracurricular activities offered, from sports teams to clubs, and have formed lasting friendships with their peers. The faculty and staff at Gulliver Schools are knowledgeable, approachable, and dedicated to helping students succeed. They provide individualized attention to ensure that each student is growing and thriving in the classroom. Overall, I highly recommend Gulliver Schools to anyone looking for a high-quality education for their children. It has been a wonderful experience for our family, and we are grateful for the opportunities it has provided.

As the parent of ninth and eleventh graders I need to say that Gulliver is offering my children an amazing experience that would help them make a smooth transition to college. The programs offered at the Prep are unique. My son is taking business as an elective and cannot be happier. My daughter is enjoying very much anthropology, a learning experience that I had in college. The quality of teachers and staff is just incredible. Also, they both have the opportunity to participate in very competitive music and sports programs. Our experience with the IB program has exceeded our expectations and has allowed our daughter to solidify her knowledge in Mandarin.
