Girls Preparatory School Reviews
The teachers here are amazing and care about their students and seeing them succeed. They are very good about creating an environment that fosters the way girls learn best, and they work to make sure each girl has what she needs to thrive.
While I wish it was sometimes more inclusive to conservative viewpoints, ones that are among the minority of the students, I can tell they are trying to increase the inclusivity by promoting civil discussion about controversial topics.
All in all, though, this is an AMAZING school and I'm so blessed I've gotten to go here!
Once we got in the door, we found the entire experience to be like night and day relative to public school. The academics are second to none. It's very challenging, but our daughter is absolutely thriving there. We have no doubt she'll be fully prepared for whatever college she may choose.
GPS really has some unique ways of instilling a greater sense of self confidence in the girls. We were a bit skeptical of an all girls school at first, but we haven't encountered anything negative at all. Everyone is so warm and welcoming!
