Our Values are our Northstar

The St. Giles School experience is grounded by four core values: delivering academic excellence through a rigorous curriculum that exceeds recognized standards; fostering the total growth of our students by integrating Catholic values into daily life; nurturing community connections and promoting service to others; and building the skills and foundation for lifelong leadership.
