About Our School

Gillis School is a K-6 English school with a student population of approximately 240 students. Our school yard offers opportunities for land-based learning, utilizes "loose parts" creative play, and incorporates exploratory play, because we believe that "risk-taking opportunities are an essential component of a well-functioning school ground."
