Founded in 1946 by the Brothers of Holy Cross, it offers a Montessori preschool program (18 months - PreK) and kindergarten through Grade 12. A boarding program is available to students in grades 9–12. Gilmour Academy is chartered through the state of Ohio and accredited through the Independent School Association of Central States (ISCACS). It is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the Ohio Association of Independent Schools (OAIS), the Cleveland Council of Independent Schools (CCIS) and the Coalition of Essential Schools (CES).
Campus
Gilmour's 144-acre (0.58 km2) campus has experienced significant growth and expansion in recent years. The Lynn and Michael Kelley Middle School houses a Broadcast Media Center and Digital Media Lab where students can learn and practice with digital media technology. The Lorraine and Bill Dodero Center for Performing Arts[2] was completed in early 2020 and opened with "The Broadway Princess Party"[3] and "Beauty and the Beast, Jr." Also opening its doors in 2020 was the Nature-Based Learning Center[4] which is home to the giving garden and in close proximity to the "Gilmour Girls" chicken coop and apiary. Our Lady Chapel (which opened in 1994) serves as a venue for liturgical events and student convocation. Gilmour's Athletic Center (which opened in 2009) houses a pool, main gym and a three-court field house and the Floyd E. Stefanski Ice Center houses two NHL-sized ice rinks and a fitness center. New artificial turf was installed in 2020 in a multiple-use field for football, soccer, and lacrosse.
