GFS proves to be an incredible community accessible to everyone with young children. We became a part of it during the challenging days of the COVID-19 pandemic when schools were closed, and online learning replaced in-person classes. Despite the difficulties faced by both parents and children during this time, we were pleasantly surprised to discover a top-notch educational experience in every aspect through GFS.
