“I think the balance Gilmour provides between rigorous academics and meaningful extracurricular opportunities is what prepared me most for college. Once you get to college, you have a
lot more freedom, and it’s up to you to manage your time. Gilmour taught me how to go to class, stay on top of my coursework and still
make time for extracurriculars, internships and other opportunities. Learning how to balance working hard with actually enjoying life has been incredibly important. It helped me stay happy, avoid burnout and ultimately do my best work.” Carter Richmond ’25, University of Virginia

preparedness.”

“One thing I noticed during my freshman year of college was how many students struggled with time management because they weren’t used to the workload. The amount of work I had at Gilmour was very similar to what I experienced in college, so I felt prepared. Gilmour taught me how to take advantage of downtime, stay organized and manage my responsibilities, and that made the transition to college much easier.”
“Now that I’m in college, I’ve realized just how much Gilmour shaped me. It gave me the confidence to pursue my goals, challenged me academically and helped me grow as a person. Looking back, I see the same thing in so many of my classmates. We all left Gilmour more confident, more knowledgeable and more compassionate. Gilmour doesn’t just prepare you to be a successful student or college applicant — it prepares you to be a better person.”
