Faculty & Staff
The staff at GSLS is a dedicated and talented group. Our elementary head teachers are all credentialed, some with Master degrees. We also have a teacher’s aide in every class, some of whom also have teaching credentials. The enrichment teachers each bring several years of experience in their area of expertise. Our preschool and extended care teachers all have the early childhood education units required for their positions.
