  • alumni testimonial

    Being a Hindu and going to a Catholic school, it may seem that you would be looked down upon for having a different religion, but in reality, every single day, Father John encourages me to continue on my own journey of faith.

    At other schools you can feel like just another number, but at Gilmour I felt like I was a person whom everyone cared about.

  • college-aged alum testimonial (MIT student)

    Gilmour's rigorous academics and supportive community helped build my confidence and provided me with a strong educational foundation. The Catalyst research I did, the coding foundation and exposure to engineering I received, and my experience in speech and debate gave me an initial advantage over other students at MIT. 

  • college-aged alum testimonial (Ohio State student)

    Through the Socratic-style classes, Gilmour taught me how to think reflectively and analytically. Through Kairos, Mass, our GA culture, and all the religious opportunities, my faith strengthened immensely. Praxis and our service activities helped me become a more engaged global citizen.

    I loved every second of being at GA. I really enjoy doing service and helping others and it’s one of the reasons I'm going into healthcare.

  • Lower School parent testimonial

    Sending our son to Gilmour was the best thing that we have ever done for him. It is like a light switch went off and he is a completely different kid when it comes to school and beyond. He now comes home happy and excited each day.

    I am incredibly grateful for this wonderful family that we have found at Gilmour. I cannot say enough about the teachers and coaches. We have three children and private education has been a financial sacrifice, but Gilmour has been worth every single penny.
