Student Life
As a small residential school GLCHS has a rich and robust student life that includes activities that go beyond the typical after school programs. Students find themselves playing pick-up basketball or badminton in Open Gym, participating in devotionals, Bible studies or prayer time, conveniently meeting for group projects or relaxing together in one of the common rooms over a game of foosball or ping pong.
Cherish friendships that are begun,
As we work, play and together
To prepare for the race we must run.

“It was important to me to participate and be on a team while at GL. It added to my school experience because while on the team you got to know your team members outside of school.”

“While on the track and field team I got to try new things I had never done before like discus and javelin along with another girl from a different grade I never really talked to. Because of joining track and field I am now friends with her!”

“Being so involved made me more comfortable and confident, and gave me the courage to take on leadership roles after I graduated. It really helped me come out of my shell.”
