Journey of Discovery
How do you build independent thinkers? At GFA, we ask a lot of questions. Join us at the Harkness table to discuss how our students think broadly and deeply while keeping goodness at their core.
Arts
Where You Take the Lead
If, as some say, "creativity is the currency of the 21st century," then how do we best foster creative thinking in the school setting?
Athletics
Strong and Spirited
The maintenance of good health and fitness through exercise are hallmarks of a well-rounded education. Our students develop a lifelong, positive attitude toward participation in physical activities.
Community
Involved and Connected
In the end, the sense of community may be what you remember most about the school.
