Gary Elementary School

We have been happy with the support our child has received at Gary School and incredible thankful for the very dedicated teachers and staff we have encountered this far.

The families at Gary School are absolutely amazing! They are engaged with their children, staff, and community!

As an elementary educator myself, I have consistently been impressed by the caliber of the teachers that my daughter has had at Gary. Something that I love about the learning community there is that Kagan structures are used school wide. These are cooperative learning structures that promote small and large scale student participation. Students are engaged, sharing ideas with their peers and practicing language skills in both languages with clear, focused parameters throughout the course of the day. Also, two way immersion is, in my strong opinion, the most effective model for dual language instruction. Not all districts in our area are able to achieve this or are willing make it a priority – just one more reason that Gary is special.

My son went through the Dual Language Immersion Program at Gary School. I can't say enough about the education he's received. It has changed his trajectory forever. Also, it's my belief that the teachers of the Dual program are of a higher caliber. Each has blown us away.
