  • – Lindiann Hopkins, parent of Zoë '14 and Kiara '16

    GNS is an OUTSTANDING community-based school with incredibly dedicated staff, wonderful cross-grade interaction and support, strong academics, great athletics, excellent volunteer opportunities and a first-class outdoor education program.

  • – Lisa Layera, parent of Jack ’19 and Jojo ’27

    This very old institution works extraordinarily hard to deliver a very 21st Century education and I believe they succeed. The magic lies in the teachers whom I have found to be committed beyond measure and among the kindest and caring I have ever known. The idea that GNS sets out to care about and nurture each child individually is not marketing, I have seen this mission carried out in the classroom, at provincial sporting events, in debate club, at graduation, and beyond.

  • – Natalie Gaines, mother of Taagen '24

    As a newcomer to GNS, I have been overwhelmed with the outstanding support system for my son.

  • – Patrick Graham ’12

    I live far away now, but my time at GNS has stayed with me through the values and lessons the school taught me that I still use every day.
