Gavilan Hills Academy in Gilroy has a strong academic orientation. It is our belief that children learn best when challenged. Accordingly, students are grouped in classes (referred to as Forms) by ability rather than chronological age. Class sizes are limited so that each student's progress can be closely monitored. Student's grouping sometimes changes with each academic subject so students can receive accelerated, average, or remedial instruction. While it is not necessarily unusual for some students to vary as much as two traditional grade levels between their academic/age level, they are regrouped for social and physical activities during the school day.
