My family recently moved from Texas to California for Gillispie, where I work and where my daughter is enrolled in Kindergarten. I'm continuing to learn about the importance of raising empathetic children and the positive impact it has on their academic and personal lives; about the need for plentiful play and recess in elementary education; about how teaching children to ask questions and to learn by experimentation and iterative design is so critical. These are just a few areas where Gillispie shines. I'm so lucky to get to see my daughter building the foundations now (kindness, curiosity, communication, love of learning) that will be so impactful on what she can contribute to the world when she's all grown up.

Cost to much, I went there for 7 years I liked it, but I'm sure public schooling would have been just the same. The only difference between Gillispie and La Jolla elementary is there are no iPads no art and thats about is. Oh wait Gillispie charges you over 20,000 dollars a year. no H8 to the G, but it wasn't worth the money. Why have an iPad when you could have an android.

Gillispie is a great school for PS - 6th grade! They have an Early Childhood area for kids in PS-PK and an upper campus for the elementary school (K-6). In both, there is a very low student to teacher ratio that allows the teachers to really focus on making learning fun. As a result, the kids are excited to go school and are passionate about learning. Gillispie has a large endowment dedicated to excellence in teaching. This means they have the money to ensure that their teachers are at the top of their game (which, if you know anything about education, the #1 correlation to your kids getting a good education is the effectiveness of their teacher). That said, it's the academic excellence that attracts you, but it's the warm, loving, nuturing community that keeps you there - for students and parents alike. The older kids work with (and look out for) the younger ones doing things like "book buddy" programs. There is a lot of opportunity for parent involvement that creates a very cohesive parent community. There are a lot of good schools in La Jolla, but Gillispie is amazing!
