GJA fosters a love for learning, instills resilience, and encourages curiosity, making it an ideal environment for boys to thrive academically and personally.

High School placement is an integral part of GJA’s program. The process begins in seventh grade with initial school visits, test prep, mock interviews, and a preview of the high school admissions process. The guidance and support provided by the Director of High School Placement and the dedicated faculty ensure that each student finds the right match school. Graduates attend elite day and boarding schools and top parochial and selective public schools throughout the tri-state area.
