Academics
An Academic Program with a Global Perspective
At GPS we believe that happy kids learn best. That’s why we teach according to the research-based, time-tested guidelines of the International Baccalaureate program, which ensure we teach our students in the ways children are proven to learn best. It’s also why we follow the agreements of our Peace Learning Center which means every member of our community feels respected and accepted.
Encourage Exploration
At GPS we encourage exploration, creation and the freedom to excel. We believe that a lifetime of learning begins early and that the best academic programs are tailored to the individual. Our small class sizes, high quality academics, and the integration of technology support our individualized approach, while our teachers make learning relevant and enjoyable.
What Makes GPS Special
- GPS prioritizes small class sizes, allowing teachers to tailor education to each student’s learning style and needs.
- Strong student-teacher relationships foster comfort with educational risks and active participation in discussions.
- Through hands-on “learning by doing,” GPS brings lessons to life using simulations, games, and interactive activities.
- Technology enhances learning, with students creating multimedia projects and podcasts to build communication and creativity skills.
- Guided by Peace Learning Center agreements, GPS promotes a positive, inclusive environment where every student has a voice.
What Makes Us Unique
GPS students enjoy being at school and our teachers take pleasure in guiding them. Our graduates emerge from GPS’s supportive, nurturing environment with the confidence to lead and learn knowing that education should be empowering and enjoyable, that their voice matters, that good character is as important as strong math and science skills, and that they have a community cheering for their success.
