Overview
Gill St. Bernard’s School is committed to developing intelligent, capable young people who are prepared for success in higher education and who can think critically and analytically, act with integrity and compassion, and become responsible citizens of the world.
GSB realizes that learning extends beyond textbooks. Students, therefore, participate in activities and projects outside the classroom. Opportunities such as an annual writers and artists-in-residence program and work with a U. S. archivist at the National Archives, allow students to work side-by-side with professionals. Taking part in community service teaches students about the larger world and fosters character development. The Unit, unique to GSB, is an intensive course of study at the end of the school year.
School Year Schedule
Gill St. Bernard’s school year is organized on a semester system. Students take traditional courses from September through late-May, with report cards issued at the end of each semester. An intensive two week course of study, the Unit, completes the school year.
