Many students from culturally and socio-economically diverse backgrounds enter Garden City's public schools every year. It is anticipated that this number will continue to increase. To provide an equal educational opportunity for all students in Garden City Public School, several supplemental programs are offered to students in grades K-12. Garden City is fortunate to have two Catholic Elementary Schools. Both Catholic schools pride themselves on providing parents with smaller class sizes, an established uniform policy and excellent teaching focusing not only on students' academic needs but spiritual needs as well.
Garden City has two other alternatives for children when it comes to education.
The Garden City Christian School offers Christ centered education with a small teacher to student ratio. They provide education to students K-8. Seventh Day Adventist also provides education for students K-8 and is a private elementary Christian school. Their curriculum is similar to the public schools. The high quality of educational services in Garden City is evident by the recent number of awards given to educators and administration.
