School Notes

As an independent and Catholic school, Gilmour is uniquely positioned to educate both the mind and the heart of every student. If there was ever a time for transformational education focused on competent, courageous leadership, hospitality and authenticity, it is now. At Gilmour we seek to practice our Holy Cross mission to develop the competence to see and the courage to act in creating a more humane and just society.
Our Holy Cross tradition emphasizes development of the whole person with a focus on a rigorous academic program complemented by a moral imperative to foster the development of faith, conscience, leadership and a commitment to giving back.
Gilmour students of every age are recognized as people on a journey of faith, effective communicators, analytical and reflective thinkers, effective problem-solvers, self-directed and curious learners, collaborative team members and, most importantly, morally responsible individuals.
We look forward to inspiring your student.

Gilmour Academy, founded in 1946 by the Brothers of Holy Cross from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, is an independent, coeducational Catholic preparatory school with enrollment from the preschool through high school levels. As a Catholic School in the Holy Cross tradition, Gilmour Academy has chosen as its mission the education of the mind and the heart. Gilmour instills in each student a strong sense of personal self-worth through personal achievement. The world our students will soon lead will require them to be persons of great courage and moral stamina, with an enthusiastic, lifelong desire to learn. By instilling a strong sense of self-worth through individual achievement, Gilmour helps students reach for their personal best. We regard each student as a unique learner and support our students' efforts to achieve their greatest potential, helping to make their education here a great adventure. Students are often pleased to discover that their best is better than they ever thought possible.

School Reviews

Gilmour is VERY different from the other private schools in the area. First, we can include religion and God - you can't address the whole person without it. Second, we value different things - we don't value power or possessions but humbly serving the world with the gifts and talents entrusted to you. Third, we're a real family - we truly care about each other. Both my children are lifers. So glad we chose GA - my children are different people because of it. Our whole family is.
