Guided by the IB Framework

The International Baccalaureate philosophy is the engine behind our mission. IB emphasizes inquiry-based learning, the development of the whole child, and the cultivation of international mindedness, values that align perfectly with what GPS has always believed.

Every classroom, from Preschool through 8th Grade, is shaped by the IB Learner Profile: ten attributes that guide who our students become, not just what they know.
