OK, I admit it... I'm partial. But that's because I have 2 children who have attended (one just graduated and one is still there). Plus, I attended Gillispie as a pre-schooler... so I think my own great experience counts! My son was there from age 3-12 and my daughter started in the toddler program (very unique to find a school who takes kids this early). Gillispie School has such a nurturing environment - they stress citizenship, creativity, and a love for learning. The teachers CARE, the administration CARES, and the parent body CARES. I've never seen such love for learning and love for the the kids. You should definitely put this school on your short list if you are considering where to put your kids. They have toddler age through 6th grade.
