EMPOWERING GIRLS FOR A CHANGING WORLD

At GPS, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom. Our learner-centered community supports each girl’s unique path to success, prioritizing personalized learning and wellbeing. With a focus on essential lifelong skills, our programming encourages critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration while empowering our students to become agents of change. Our partnerships with McCallie and the greater Chattanooga community provide GPS girls with diverse experiences and engagement with people who foster connection and individual growth. We take pride in our school, honoring our Founders’ legacy and planning for a vibrant future. With empathy, respect, and civility, we champion and challenge each student, helping her discover and develop her passions and potential. Join us as we embark on our next chapter and continue to make GPS the best school for girls.
