Joy in learning is at the heart of Gaynor. Small class sizes and dedicated teachers create an environment where every child can shine.
WHY GAYNOR?
Unlocking Potential. Celebrating Difference.
At Stephen Gaynor School, every child is welcomed as an individual with limitless potential. Children who learn differently first discover the joy in learning, supported by evidence-based approaches and a community of care. From Pre-K to 8, we educate the whole child through nurturing skills, confidence, and curiosity that empower them to reach their fullest potential.
Gaynor’s faculty design instruction around each student’s learning profile ensuring that essential academic and critical thinking skills are built step by step. Students thrive when teaching meets them where they are and takes them further than they imagined.
“They’re truly meeting each child where they are, it is so customized and individualized. We have twin boys, both distinctly different, and to be able to see how their teachers are helping them learn based on each child’s need is impressive.”
— Delaram Saidi, Parent
