Thank you for visiting our website to learn more about why so many parents choose GSL for their children’s Preschool-8th grade education. Please explore these pages to learn more about our educational experience in Preschool, Lower School, and Middle School.
At GSL, we understand the importance of choosing the right learning community – a community that shares your values and hopes for your child. Our lively, play-based program in Preschool provides an excellent foundation for the inspiring curriculum students experience in Lower School and Middle School. At GSL we develop kindhearted, academically prepared, well-rounded students who graduate from eighth grade with all the tools they need to make a difference in their high school communities and beyond.
Come see firsthand why so many Mid-South families choose GSL for their children’s educational foundation. We look forward to meeting you and showing you why GSL is the best choice for your child's educational journey!

Little Saints Launch in 2024!
Our inaugural class of Little Saints, our new 18- to 23-month-old class, launched in August! Continued demand for spaces at GSL’s Preschool, which celebrates its centennial this year, led to the decision to expand the school’s current grade level configuration by adding this class.
This new grade level addition gives families an earlier entry point to GSL, and provides a younger age group with a nurturing, safe, and loving environment designed to ignite curiosity and develop foundational skills.
At all grade levels, GSL offers a learning environment that nurtures curiosity, fosters growth, and ultimately prepares our students to become creative problem solvers, confident lifelong learners, and responsible citizens in their communities and the world.
Children must be walking and 16-23 months old by June 1, 2025 to be eligible for enrollment next year. Are you interested in joining us?
