"This very old institution works extraordinarily hard to deliver a very 21st Century education and I believe they succeed. The magic lies in the teachers whom I have found to be committed beyond measure and among the kindest and caring I have ever known. The idea that GNS sets out to care about and nurture each child individually is not marketing, I have seen this mission carried out in the classroom, at provincial sporting events, in debate club, at graduation, and beyond."
– Lisa Layera, parent of Jack ’19 and Jojo ’27
"It's a really great school where you are going to learn a lot of important skills for the future, which will set you up really nicely not only for university, but just life in general. It also has a really great community feel where you are able to make connections really easily. I know every single person in my grade very personally and we will take life-long friendships with us wherever we go."
– Ava Dryden ’21
“I love the amazing community and the support you get from your peers and teachers. It feels like someone is always there to help out when needed. My favourite part of Middle School has been how the teachers help us learn. They always adapt their lessons so we can understand them to the best of our abilities."
– Alison Scott ’27
"As a newcomer to GNS, I have been overwhelmed with the outstanding support system for my son."
– Natalie Gaines, mother of Taagen '24
"Maddy’s teachers, coaches and instructors did so much for her, and helped her become the amazing young woman she is today."
– Rudy and Mary Anne Marchildon, parents of Maddy '16
