"Classroom discussion was central to my experience. With small class sizes, every student was expected to participate, and no contribution was considered insignificant. This environment strengthened my confidence, especially in co-ed academic settings. When I entered college, I felt completely comfortable speaking in front of large groups and engaging in discussion...A Gilmour education is truly holistic, it develops students into confident, thoughtful, and courageous leaders. My experience at Gilmour shaped not only my academic success, but the person I am today, fostering growth far beyond the classroom."
