Welcome from
Dr. Laurie Gardner

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to our school. Wherever your interest lies, be it in our Lower School which serves pupils from infant through kindergarten, or our Upper School which serves pupils from first through sixth grade, you will automatically be a part of the GMGA family. As we embark on this exciting educational journey together, we will continue with fidelity on our shared dedication to educate and nurture the whole child.

We understand that it takes a village and endeavor to partner with you on this academic adventure. As we intentionally foster and prepare a learning environment conducive to a growth mindset, academic development, emotional intelligence and leadership enhancement for our children. We are reminded of our mission to allow children the autonomy to explore and evolve to their maximum potential while utilizing didactic learning resources, promoting educational equity, independence, transparency and engagement, within a prepared atmosphere.

Parents and guardians, you are extremely vital to the success of your child’s educational journey. I encourage you to stay in the loop, remain relevant and active as your engagement will positively impact your children’s success. As we navigate this ever-evolving educational system, we rely on the education pedagogy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. Our learning scope and sequence entails a curriculum that promotes freedom of movement and choice as our students are encouraged to foster a unique sense of community, love, respect for self, and others.

As GMGA lives by our motto, Ad Donatum, et Verum…to the Gifted and the True…we are compelled to provide a safe space for your child’s maximum potential to be identified, fostered, nurtured and challenged.

We look forward to this beneficial partnership as we strive towards the common goal of academic and overall rigor and success for each child.

Again, welcome to our school…
