Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

The middle school years mark an exciting, significant time for your child. They’re developing – physically, emotionally, and intellectually – at a pace rivaled only by their first few years of life.

Studies show that at this age, girls, specifically, begin to feel the pressure to perform as the “right kind” of girl. Your daughter faces a choice: define for herself who she is or let the world do it for her.

At GMS, we know that sixth through eighth grade is an absolutely vital time to educate your daughter with expertise and intention. And we’ve made it our mission to do just that. 

Here at GMS, our progressive, evidence-based approach intentionally combines the advantages of a focused middle school environment with the proven benefits of a girl-centered community.

We know that when your child learns in a school designed for them, for these critical years, they graduate to high school and beyond more prepared, confident, and capable

—ready for anything.

Why GMS?
The Girls' School Advantage
ICGS Research
At GMS, we believe girls learn most powerfully through hands-on experience and by making real-world connections. We therefore offer multiple opportunities to venture beyond the classroom in ways that bring science, literature, math, history, art, and language to life.
GMS Teacher
The academic rigor at GMS is purposeful and meaningful. The program is designed to help students continue growing through high school and college. We want our daughter to love learning all her life.

A GMS education is magical and perfection. Every aspect of the program is well thought out and exactly what a middle school girl needs. The all girls environment allows them to develop a sense of self unencumbered by the influence of boys.
