My two kids entered GUS at grade 6 (the "upper school") from the homeschooling environment. They…read morewanted to be in a more traditional school setting, I wanted to ensure their learning environment retained the best parts of homeschooling: diverse, flexible, multi-layered (go as deep as you like!), integrated, and "homey." From day one, GUS has satisfied everyone's needs. I have no question that my children are understood - not just by the teachers and students, but members of the administration and faculty. It is an academically open minded and encouraging place, and thanks to GUS, both my kids have found their voice in ways that pleasantly surprised me. GUS is forward thinking in its mindset, but old fashioned in its process. Trustworthy and creative. It is a very good place.

We found both, and even more at Glen Urquhart. From the first moment of our visit, we were struck by the creativity and goodness that permeate every nook and cranny of this magical campus. 3 years later, our daughter is thriving in every way we could have hoped for: academically, creatively and socially. If you are seeking a place where the educators genuinely care about each child, and work to bring out the best in them, look no further. GUS is your place.

He was taught structure and discipline and manners while having fun with his friends! The teachers are fabulous and friendly and really have a way of making their lessons fun. All of the children feel included and loved. My daughter went to a public preschool for 1 year and it was a nightmare! She didn't learn much and the teachers couldn't be bothered to engage her. Once I placed her into WOW I saw a huge transformation in a matter of weeks. She thrived. Not placing my daughter in WOW from day one was my stupidity. I was trying to save money and it was a huge regret. You get what you pay for. This place is amazing. They do not have a large turn over because the staff is dedicated and never leave. It's refreshing. My kids often talk about WOW and like to browse through their memory books. Every child graduates every year and it's incredible. The kids feel so special and it's a nice way to acknowledge all of their accomplishments and achievements.

We feel that it's by far the best value in the area.

Bravo, Waring. I would also like to add that anyone writing a negative review for this school has clearly not gone to this school. There is ZERO tolerance for bullying and honestly the kids here just wouldn't do that. Everyone is accepted and applauded for who they are. In terms of cost, we did receive substantial financial aid, and the small cost we pay is worth every penny.
