At GUS, we believe in asking questions to find solutions, and working together for the greater good.

Our school is built on a mission and philosophy that guides us to shape young people who will make the world a better place. Through their experiences at GUS, students learn to think critically, develop the skills to advocate for themselves and their fellow community members, to see and experience life beyond the boundaries of our campus, and develop a commitment to contribute to the greater good of society.

Diversity, equity + inclusion at GUS
