Our teachers are at the heart of the Gillispie experience. We select highly skilled, experienced, and devoted educators who ignite a passion for learning and empower students to reach their full potential. They are more than just teachers; they are passionate facilitators who foster a challenging and engaging learning environment where curiosity thrives.
Since 2011, the Gillispie School Endowment for Teaching has enabled us to attract, retain, and nurture the best and the brightest in education. Read more about our endowment.
