Philosophy

Gray Stone Day School is a regional institution offering a rigorous, college preparatory curriculum for students in grades 6 through 12. Our dedicated teaching staff designs and delivers challenging courses that require students to engage diligently both in and out of the classroom. While fostering strong character, we prepare our students comprehensively for post-secondary opportunities.

Gray Stone Middle School (grades 6-8)
The Middle School at Gray Stone Day School was established in 2017 to help students prepare for the demands of a college preparatory high school. Our students come from various counties and elementary school backgrounds, bringing diverse experiences to our community. Sixth-grade teachers nurture students as they adjust to the high expectations set by Gray Stone, emphasizing respect for peers, teachers, and facilities to create an optimal learning environment. As students progress to seventh and eighth grades, teachers build on these foundational qualities, offering a robust and in-depth curriculum while helping students develop strong organizational skills, study habits, and time management. A typical schedule includes four core classes, a PE class, and an elective rotation featuring three different opportunities. Fixed and regular support is provided to all students to ensure their success.

Gray Stone Senior High (grades 9-12)
In the Senior High at Gray Stone Day School, students enjoy a significant degree of freedom, reflecting the high expectations set by the staff. The skills and behaviors cultivated and reinforced in earlier years should now be second nature. With increased student accountability, students are able to manage small windows of their own time effectively. They understand their responsibility for both their education and behavior. The schedule at this level may include periods of open, unmanaged time or enrollment in online college courses. The goal is for students to learn to utilize these times efficiently, preparing them for the demands of college and life beyond. Course schedules are tailored to each student's individualized graduation plan, ensuring they meet their unique academic needs.
