How It Works
Four years, four stages: from discovering a field to presenting work in it.
1
9TH GRADE
Explore
During freshman year (9th grade), students start as an "explorer": they discover new knowledge, different fields of study, and unique career paths.
2
10TH GRADE
Decide
In sophomore year (10th grade), students are given the opportunity to choose a specialization track.
3
11TH & 12TH GRADES
Rise Up
Throughout their junior and senior years (11th & 12th grades), students fulfill the rigorous requirements of their chosen specialization while maintaining their GPAs.
4
12TH GRADE
Present
Seniors create, perfect, and present their finalized capstone project, a culmination of all that they've learned at GLS, to demonstrate to the world that they are ready to tackle the challenges of their fields.
REQUIRED IN EVERY TRACK
