Visit Gilmour Academy

We can't wait to meet you!

We look forward to learning more about you and showing you our beautiful 144-acre campus! Gilmour administrators and faculty have worked tirelessly to ensure that our community could again return safely to campus. We will continue in-person tours and, this year, return to a modified shadow experience for students in Grades 7-12. We will be hosting our Open Houses and Middle/Upper School Parent Coffees as well and encourage anyone interested in Gilmour to visit our Virtual Visit page. All visitors will be required to wear a mask while indoors on campus and are asked to remain socially distanced to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep our community safe.

Students and families interested in our Upper and Middle Schools can attend one of two information sessions and tour the campus with a student guide; Lower School families can sign up for a one-hour personalized tour with a member of our Admission team.
