Innovative curriculum and state-of-the-art facilities are what you would expect from one of the best private schools in Northeast Ohio. But it is how Gilmour Academy teaches students what it means to be a person beyond the classroom that makes our school truly unique. Entrepreneurial opportunities; service projects; and experiential programming in technology, the arts and science empower students to not only learn about the real world, but how to positively impact it. Gilmour educates the mind and empowers the heart of every student. That’s the advantage of an independent, Catholic school.
