School Report Card

Each year, the State Department of Education (SDE) releases its State Report Card for each school and district. Specialized schools like GSSM are challenged to describe their programs and improvements in terms comparable to normal schools and districts. We work closely with our SDE partners each year to create a report that is informative and reflective of our mission. We are pleased to share the most recent report card below.

GSSM Schedule of Fees

GSSM's residential and virtual programs are tuition-free. Families may be asked to contribute to actual costs associated with the meal plan and optional travel and program expenses. It is important to remember that admission to GSSM's residential and virtual programs are need-blind and that no student admitted to these programs will be denied permission due to inability to pay a fee. Financial aid provided to students is made possible due to the generosity of alumni, families, and businesses who provide these funds through the GSSM Foundation. Our Outreach camps may charge tuition to recover a portion of our operating costs.
