Signature Programs
The Girls' Middle School
Signature Programs
Middle school students naturally follow their hearts, seek novelty, and want to figure out who they are. Safe, supported exploration and risk-taking is not only a developmental need for your child at this age, it’s a path to life-defining self-knowledge and opportunity. The GMS experience promotes expansive curiosity, creativity, and courage while emboldening students’ voices and identities—opening doors to endless possibility.
Entrepreneurial Program
Through our Entrepreneurial Program, a year-long interdisciplinary experience, our seventh graders design a novel product that they manufacture and market. They then present their business plans to a panel of Silicon Valley investors. They become inventors, creators, leaders.
STEM Program
Our exceptional STEM program, bolstered by a rich and rigorous mathematics and computer science curriculum, ensures that our students are not only exposed to but experience firsthand—and succeed in—fields not yet dominated by women.
Intersession
Intersession, a week-long discovery journey that takes place twice a year, allows students to expand learning beyond core academics through a new activity they’ve never tried before like stop motion animation, LED jewelry making, glass blowing, community service, and wilderness first aid, to name a few.
Arts & Media
In Arts & Media, all GMS students undertake a wide-range of media and techniques. Ceramics, video production, and woodworking, along with music, metalworking, and drama encourage students to express their voices, explore their artistic visions, and think critically about the visual, musical, and dramatic cultures of which they are both consumers and producers.
The Bennett Scholars Program
The Bennett Scholars Program embodies our mission to create a community of diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and ensure all students, regardless of background or income level, are offered the opportunity and encouraged to discover their strengths and their voice.
