Program Experience

The day begins at 8:30 a.m., when visiting students are welcomed on campus and provided with a personalized schedule. Each participant is paired with a current GCS student, who will accompany them throughout the day and help them navigate classes, transitions, and school life.

Students will attend a full sequence of classes, participate in discussions, and experience our collaborative classroom culture firsthand. Lunch is enjoyed alongside fellow visiting students and current students in the cafeteria, providing time to connect, reflect, and recharge.

The academic day concludes at 3:00 p.m., followed by an opportunity to unwind and participate in selected afterschool clubs and activities.
