Gill St. Bernard's is one of only a handful of independent, college-preparatory schools in New Jersey to offer preschool through grade 12 on a single campus. Our campus and curriculum provide each student with the continuity to foster confidence, growth, and healthy risk-taking.
Our community of learners value the contributions, perspectives, and talents that each student and faculty member bring to campus. Within this community, characterized by camaraderie, connections, and inclusion, students gain the confidence and self-possession to persevere in challenging courses, to voice opinions during class discussions, and to attain their potential.
A sense of place and of community are preludes to exploration and growing independence. Our campus and curriculum provide each student with the continuity to foster confidence, growth, and healthy risk-taking.
Early Childhood program spanning preschool to prekindergarten to kindergarten
Our preschool nurtures each student’s natural sense of wonder and innate curiosity, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and equipping children for academic success.
Elementary school spanning grades 1-4
Our students are joyful, actively engaged learners who thrive working with experienced teachers. The curriculum is challenging, flexible, and keeps bodies and minds active as an understanding and appreciation of the world, the community, and themselves is awakened.
Spanning grades 5-8
Students in grades five to eight work with a team of teachers who provide a vibrant environment focused on academic rigor. It is balanced through attentive, nurturing support and the quest to appropriately challenge students in and out of the classroom.
High school spanning grades 9-12
This is a place where all students are deeply engaged in the classroom and through co-curricular activities. Our rich and varied academic program prepares them for top-tier colleges and universities, while allowing plenty of room to explore and discover new interests and ideas.
It’s the difference between being challenged and being pushed, the difference between healthy competition and a win-at-any-cost attitude, the difference between exploring your interests and ticking off boxes for a college application. It’s balance, and it matters.
We believe that the pursuit of knowledge has intrinsic rewards. Our community of learners value the contributions, perspectives, and talents that each student and faculty member bring to campus.
Athletics play an integral part of the overall educational experience of our students, reinforcing our core values of courage, integrity, respect, compassion, and excellence through competition, practice, and team-play.
The arts at GSB enrich the student experience and the life of the school. The arts promote courageous exploration, self-awareness, and cultural literacy as students are encouraged to take creative risks, to discover their passions, and to present their work before an audience.
With our farm and garden as backdrops, teachers find abundant ways to challenge students to think critically about the environment and the relationship between the school and the larger community.
Thank you for your dedication to Gill St. Bernard's and for your support of our teachers and students.
Each of our three divisions provide a rigorous, meaningful, and developmentally-appropriate curriculum, and all students benefit from the environmental learning on our 208-acre campus.
