My 4 children have gone to GICS for six years now. I could not think of a amore rounded and comfortable education for them. My kids range from above the spectrum to having one in Special Education. All their needs have been met 150%! The small class sizes and the combined classes are a wonderful way for a child to naturally grow to their potential. I would highly recommend this school to all who want their children to succeed.
