There could not be a better educational experience in the Grosse Pointe area. The Educators and the Administration at Grosse Pointe Academy have proven to be excellent stewards of our children's education. At every step, they have been supportive, encouraging, challenging, and proved they have a superior approach to the educational experience for kids. There is no question our kids are getting the best education, the most attention, and learning true values and skills that make all the difference in today's world. We are forever grateful to all who call GPA home, and those who have helped mold our children into the growing leaders they are today.

We've been a GPA family for 3 years and I think the quality of the education is fantastic. They set standards for the kids and hold them accountable which prepares them for their future. We are very happy with our decision.

As the Director of Development, The Grosse Pointe Academy is a wonderful place to work, both because of the beautiful campus and my colleagues. Prior to my role here, I was a parent for 14 years and couldn't have asked for a better educational experience for my two sons. The academics were challenging and the quantity of art, athletics, and extracurricular offerings were what set it apart from other schools, not to mention the Montessori Early School which was the reason we came.
