The Upper School runs on a block schedule which begins at 8:10 a.m. on Mondays and 8:15 a.m. for the remainder of the week. The school day ends at 3:00 p.m. Rotating classes meet four times per week in either 45 or 65 minute periods. In addition to attending classes, Upper School students will experience the following throughout the week:
Assembly: A weekly opportunity for all Upper School students, faculty, and administrators to share announcements and build community.
Meeting: A designated time three times a week during which students can meet with their teachers for extra help. Some clubs and organizations meet during this period, and students also can use the time as a study hall.
Advisory: Advisory groups meet on Mondays and Wednesdays. The GSB Advisory program provides each student with the opportunity to connect with a Gill St. Bernard’s faculty member or administrator who will monitor, guide, and support the student’s academic, social, and emotional progress.
