The academics at Gill are rigorous. Expectations are high and the level of work produced is exceptional. The students are open minded, intellectually curious, happy and extremely bright. This school has risen to the very top of NewJersey’s finest institutions. Aside from a couple teachers that are almost too difficult the instruction overall is top notch and the students have depth that is anything but common in most schools today. If you’re lucky enough to get in you won’t be disappointed in the overall experience!
Excellent school environment, teaches balance, and gives kids real world theory and experiential learning which is necessary for development. The school is equipped to create global leaders, and citizens of the world. Academics is strong! However, it is not the only mark for success. I like how the school teaches how to confront real life situations, and how to create intellectual balance, through different learning application. These are all fundamental learnings that must start at early education. I highly recommend this school; despite some views that it is highly politicized (which I do not believe to be the case).
Gill has been a wonderful experience for our children! The teachers are top notch. They challenge the students but also provide support when it is needed. The campus is beautiful and creates many chances for hands-on learning. The community of staff, faculty and families is warm and welcoming. Sports, music, theater, clubs and activities play a big role in the life of the school. GSB emphasizes balance and encourages students to take risks by trying new experiences. Most importantly, children are exposed to character development through community service, role modeling by adults and day-to-day interactions. I can't imagine a better place for my children to learn and grow.
