Reading Buddies is a favorite activity among students and teachers and a wonderful way to build community within the Lower School.

My approach to elementary science is to give the students a lot of opportunities for hands-on exploration.

In The Learning Center (TLC), we have the opportunity to reimagine writing and provide students an environment where we can scaffold and personalize the experience to best meet individual needs.

At McGillis, we strive to empower our students as leaders in their learning.

Every year, our 3rd Grade Magpies dive into project-based learning through their Country Report.

Along the way, Amy realized that McGillis provided something special for her children.

For many in the McGillis community, affinity for the school comes in part through shared experiences, from weekly Shabbat, to Family Groups, to Ethics-in-Action lessons.
