What our Alumni say
Attending GHS benefited me enormously. This was largely due to the quality of my teachers. They saw education as an end in itself, rather than just a means. That is, they emphasized the goodness of understanding things for their own sake. Getting kids to see this is a kind of gift, and is probably one of the reasons why I’ve chosen to keep studying. For instance, we once hiked up to see the rare Disas in the foothills of the Greyton mountains. These sorts of experiences have stayed with me, and given me an appreciation for the natural world.
