About 3 years ago, my husband Mark and I felt like there was an important piece missing from our daughter’s education – faith. We wanted a solid academic program that was framed by a biblical worldview.  We wanted to partner with a school whose culture and values reflected what Mark and I taught at home.

Our search led us to MGCS where we met Glenn Pleasant and toured the school.  Like so many MGCS parents, we found the environment warm and welcoming. The classes are small, yet the school is big enough to offer athletic and extracurricular opportunities.

After Lilly-Anne’s first week at MGCS, I had to travel to Israel for 10 days.  The support and love Lilly-Anne received while I was away confirmed what I suspected: MGCS is more than just a school; it is a supportive, caring, community.  Lilly-Anne’s classmates were welcoming and kind.  Mrs. Furtado prayed regularly with her, and Ms. Reese kept me updated via email.  Her conversations and prayers with Mrs. Furtado bore fruit later that year when Lilly-Anne prayed to accept Christ as her Savior.

This year, Lilly started 6^th grade. The transition to Upper School has been great. The teachers extended much grace as she adjusted to changing classes and using a locker. Her Math Lab elective has been so helpful.  Lilly-Anne played on the Girls Tennis Team this fall and is currently a cheerleader.  The spirit and structure of these teams are an extension of the MGCS atmosphere and Lilly-Anne has enjoyed every minute.
