GPS Mission

Mission Statement

 

Girls Preparatory School creates leaders by engaging the mind, stimulating the spirit, instilling values and self confidence, and challenging girls to recognize their membership in the global community.

 

 

Vision

 

GPS stands among the nation's leading schools, driven to improve everything that we do to educate and prepare our girls, and sending forth graduates who are such a force in the global community that they are recognized as models of active and ethical citizenship.

 

 

Statement of Values

 

In partnership with parents, Girls Preparatory School pledges to integrate these values, not only in our policies but also in our daily lives.

 

Respect

 

Respect for ourselves and our fellow human beings is fundamental. When we respect others, we treat them with honesty and integrity, welcome their differences, and celebrate an open and creative discourse. When we respect ourselves, we commit to a moral and honorable life.

 

Responsibility

 

Responsibility requires that we do our best in all that we undertake. We have an obligation to ourselves to fulfill our own potentials, we have an obligation to others to fulfill the commitments that we have made, and we have an obligation to our Maker to lead lives of meaning and purpose.

 

Discovery

 

Learning is a lifelong process. We commit ourselves to an unquenchable curiosity for discovering all that this life may offer. We recognize that we may not always find the answers, but we will continue to ask the questions.

 

Excellence

 

We seek excellence in all that we undertake, setting goals and achieving them, unswerving in our commitment to moral behavior. Excellence is a product of diligence and tenacity, risk and sacrifice; we celebrate our successes and those of others.
