The Girls' Middle School

GMS is a joyful, inspiring, and mission-driven place where middle school girls have a safe and supportive environment to flourish. While other schools in the area may have fancier campuses or more food offerings, GMS devotes its resources to creating a special place for its students to thrive with faculty/staff who are fully invested in the healthy development of girls during this critical time in their lives. Don't judge a school from the exterior building (!) - the infectious GMS energy is on display in the busy hallways and classrooms, the spirited athletic venues, and the electric performance stages. My daughter ALWAYS looks forward to going to school each day and as a parent, it has been so wonderful to see her love for her school community translate to a love of learning and friendships.

Dedicated faculty, out-of-the box thinking, and a very supportive environment. GMS truly lives the mission of providing a positive and challenging learning environment that fosters self-esteem, empowerment and responsibility. Not just your average private school: a completely different way of teaching and educating girls. Wish there had been a school like this when I was a girl!

I am a former GMS student and I could go on forever about the education I have received from the school. It has not only taught me how to work in a group but it also helped me get to know who I am. It has sparked my interest and passions that I will continue to explore in high school. GMS has also given me the gift of confidence in who I am. The teachers and staff have helped me progress as a student and athlete. The education and skills each girl receives is priceless. There is no other school like GMS. I strongly recommend the school to any one who is interested.
