At GUS, we believe that changing the world with ideas starts in pre-k.

Our curriculum integrates academic skill development, experiential learning, and social-emotional understanding in a child-centered, challenging environment. Academic rigor is cultivated in a community that encourages taking risks, values collaboration, and fosters leadership. We honor every child’s experience, power, and responsibility in the classroom and in the world.

Our mission + philosophy
