The Winter Solstice is my favorite event at GUS. Every year, my heart dances with joy as our school family comes together to celebrate this special day. How reassuring it is to know, even when the nights feel long and the world is cloaked in darkness, brighter days are just around the corner.
Read MoreBefore we gather with loved ones during this season of reflection and gratitude, let’s take a moment to be grateful for GUS.
Read MoreOur first Tartan of the year. How I love the Tartan as a metaphor for GUS! The idea of individual threads coming together to create something special certainly rings true here on campus - and in this newsletter!
Read MoreI love a clean slate, a blank page, a white canvas. I like do-overs and mulligans. I believe we learn from doing, mistakes included, and as a result, we become better. I love September and the start of school because it is a chance to do it all again, but better!
Read MoreCue the Duck Boats! While there has been a lot to celebrate in Boston these last few weeks, here at GUS we have also been celebrating. The Graduation Exercises for the Class of 2024 were wonderful, as we gathered on Bartlett Field, our green and shady place.
Read MoreWhen the weather gets warmer and the days get longer, there is a special energy on campus! Spring is my favorite time of year in schools, though I think I say that about the period between Thanksgiving and winter break (and the week of the Boar Cup too!).

Read MoreThis past month, we have been focusing on all the joy at GUS, which has not been hard to do! Every day at GUS, there are countless moments that warm our hearts and feed our souls.
Read MoreThis Solstice promise of lighter and brighter days ahead is certainly coming true here at GUS. The Class of 2024 took one giant step closer to graduation with the completion of an amazing Arts Night. Their speeches gave us wonderful insight into this class, both as individuals and as a collective group, and we could not be more proud.
Read MoreAs we enter the final stretch of the calendar year, with the winter solstice fast approaching, it is time to reflect on gratitude and community. Gratitude, it has been said, is the key that unlocks a happier and more fulfilling life. It allows us to acknowledge the abundance that surrounds us and fosters a positive outlook.
Read MoreOne of the wonderful things about our new mission statement is that it begins with ‘through the joys of learning.’ In early drafts that part had been at the end, and at the suggestion of our faculty, we moved it to the front. That change felt so right! Here at GUS, we always lead with joy and that has certainly been true this fall.
Read MoreThe Wicked Kidz Running Races were an exciting addition to our annual Nature Fair - and we’re thrilled to share this race footage that was captured by Beverly Drone.
Read MoreAs it does every year, it feels as though we are off to the races from the moment we arrive back on campus from March break, slowly gaining speed all the way through to June and graduation. With so much going on this time of year, it’s important to remember all this “fun” is actually important development milestones that encourage and celebrate important student growth in so many ways.
