GFA’s Science in STEAM Expo showcased the ingenuity and creativity of our middle schoolers, with each grade presenting scientific innovations designed to address a real-world challenge. 

Lower School students explored the principles of light and reflection during this year’s STEAM Day, engaging in hands-on projects that combined creativity, collaboration, and scientific discovery. 

As a culminating project for their unit on proportional reasoning, Middle School math students were challenged to create a large-scale collaborative mural of GFA’s Centennial logo.

Together with the Lower School STEAM Team, a dedicated group of parent volunteers, the Lower School Parents Association hosted a winter inspired STEAM night for lower schoolers and their families.

This year, GFA introduced two exciting elective science classes for the first time: Introductory Neuroscience in the Fall and Abnormal Psychology in the Spring. Faculty member Andrew McCloskey, now in his third year at GFA, spearheaded the implementation of these courses.

GFA's Computer Science and Engineering Week recently highlighted the talents and achievements of students from Lower School to Upper School

The Dragonoids have been hard at work this fall, preparing for a season of learning and competition ahead! Recently, the team competed at the Battle @ the Beach VEX scrimmage.
