Biology/Chemistry - Upper School Science

Teaching at Gilmour Academy is a unique call to help students grow cognitively, spiritually, and socially/emotionally. It is made unique by the charisms gifted to our Holy Cross community. We are a Catholic school in the Holy Cross tradition, and all of our work is informed by our mission and our ever-evolving understanding of what it means to be Holy Cross. When we engage students we do so as commissioned members of this special community. Teaching at Gilmour is student-centered and outcome-based, but uniquely excellent when it is done as mindful and intentional members of Holy Cross.

Gilmour instills in every student a strong sense of self-worth through personal achievement and the discovery of his or her own voice. The world our students will soon lead will require them to be persons of great competence, courage, and moral stamina, with an enthusiastic, lifelong desire to learn.
