At GUS, we believe that kids shouldn't learn anything in a vacuum - or everything in a classroom.

Our 23-acre campus ensures that learning is never confined to a classroom - or a book. At GUS we are committed to creating a school where children love learning because they are engaged physically, intellectually, and emotionally. Part of that mission involves erasing the boundaries between the classroom and the world around us.
