Research Gilmour Academy private Schools in Painesville, Ohio

“My son graduated May, 2008 and had been at the academy grades 6 thur 12. He graduated near the top of his class and was accepted to many fine colleges and universities, and finally decided to attend one of the top 20 universities in the nation. Most important was that he learned critical thinking skills and how HIS brain works. The teachers are always willing to help. The workload is tough, but worth it. My daughter is currently in upper school and is doing extremely well. This is the place that not only prepares your child for academic success, but also stresses values and personal character as a part of their mission.”

“Although Gilmour has a few excellent teachers, the environment borders on misogynistic. This is not a good school for girls, unless the girl's life ambition is to be a trophy wife. The school has spent money disproportionately on athletics, while its academic and arts programs have declined.”

“The Middle and Upper Schools are fantastic. Great leadership, challenging work and a caring nurturing staff make it a wonderful environment for your children. The Lower School (1-6) is spotty. Examine carefully before commiting as the leadership is here is below average.”

“the academic programs at the academy make it by far one of the best. no public school can even compare to the amount of work, courses, and teachers that are at the school and very few prep schools can either. The teachers are amazing, somtimes there are clashing of opinions with the administartion but the dean is leaving next year (2006) and the new prospects look even better. The campus is great, almost all the athletic teams have winning records, and for the most part students seem to be happy. The only complaint i ever hear is regarding the workload, but with the money you pay to go here it is expected.”

“I have one son enrolled there at the moment, but my older son just graduated and I went there when I was a child. The School is amazing at helping every child with what they need and want our of life. My family is better because of the Gilmour experience.”

“I switched my two children here and have been nothing but thrilled with the results. Classes are small and the whole atmoshphere is one of respect for teachers and students alike.”

“There is no private school in this area that is better equiped to teach your children. My son has been in attendance at Gilmour for five years. What a wonderful place to grow!”

“Gilmour Academy is a wonderful school that encourages independent thinking and questioning. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, and challenging private school.”
