What is Early Action?
Early Action is the premier way for prospective 9th grade students to discover Gill St. Bernard's.
The Early Action option is an accelerated, non-binding application process by which students receive the admission decision earlier in the school year. This option is designed for rising 9th graders who are enthusiastic and eager to join GSB, such as siblings, legacy families, or individuals who already have a strong connection to our community.
If you feel confident our school is the right fit, then our Early Action round is the perfect opportunity to jump-start the application process, to receive more opportunities to meet the community, and to enjoy peace-of-mind during your admission journey. If you feel that GSB is where you see yourself, apply EA!
