The Advantage of Being Independent and Catholic As an independent, Catholic school, Gilmour Academy stands alone in its ability to prepare students who thrive.
Our mission is rooted in educating the mind and empowering the heart, ensuring that every student develops to their fullest potential.
From 18 months to 18 years, everything at Gilmour from the curriculum to the academic extension programs to extracurriculars is focused on cultivating four enduring competencies that are most important in developing students as leaders of their generation. Those enduring competencies are effective communication, critical thinking and problem solving, leadership and moral responsibility. These are introduced in the Montessori preschool programs, and then expanded upon and developed throughout the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools.
Gilmour graduates emerge primed for the next step and confident in their ability to make the world a better place.

Gilmour is VERY different from the other private schools in the area. First, we can include religion and God - you can't address the whole person without it. Second, we value different things - we don't value power or possessions but humbly serving the world with the gifts and talents entrusted to you. Third, we're a real family - we truly care about each other. Both my children are lifers. So glad we chose GA - my children are different people because of it. Our whole family is.
