Faculty & Staff
Our staff chooses to work at Gardner School because we are passionate about a different kind of school experience for children.
Our values as a school influence all decisions we make, and our teachers are known for being collaborative and kind, curious and creative, and regularly pursue professional development to grow in skills and knowledge. Class sizes are small at Gardner, so teachers get to focus on building strong relationships and meeting student’s academic and social-emotional needs.
