Dear community,
With very heavy hearts, on June 16, 2023, the Board of Directors of GCE Lab School made the decision to close the school permanently.
With current economic factors influencing donations, enrollment, tuition revenue, and operating costs, GCE has experienced an unfortunate and untenable financial position. Under these circumstances and with funding options exhausted, the Board did not see a viable solution that would ensure all of our students receive a quality high school experience.
GCE was a special place that celebrated each student for who they are and helped each live into their best self. We have many stories of unbelievable transformation. We hope you all continue to carry the spark of curiosity, your belief that all voices matter in our pursuit of peace, and the knowledge that you have the power to help your communities and our world become a better place for all.
