Our son has grown in so many ways during his years at Giddens. His growing awareness and concern about the important social issues of our time, his empathy for and ability to interact well with people from all backgrounds and ages, and his love of learning have all been fostered here. It's a great place to build the foundation for learning about yourself and about the world. - Giddens School Parent
