Gilmore Elementary Philosophy
We at the Gilmore believe that each child can learn. All of our educational practices are based on that belief.
We are committed to creating a child centered environment that promotes positive self esteem and self confidence. Our school values and acknowledges good citizenship and a sense of community.
We provide each child with an opportunity to develop cognitively and socially within an emotionally and physically safe environment. Our successful academic program, which is based upon a careful analysis of individual student needs, focuses on reading, writing, calculating, problem solving, critical thinking skills, and creative expression. Each child at the Gilmore School flourishes in an environment that celebrates the diversity of our students while stressing the unity of our purpose, that children will succeed.
