Leadership

At Gerstell we define leadership as:  “The art of positively influencing others to unite in a common direction and guide them to improve themselves and their community.”  Gerstell Academy students and faculty endeavor to fully understand and put the definition into action.  Opportunities are constantly sought to challenge and test students knowledge and skills. 

Manners, social skills, public speaking, knowledge of the world’s major religious cultures, understanding why and how the United States became a world leader, and understanding how our actions affect the environment are a sampling of the specific leadership areas our students study that set them apart from their peers.  We are developing poised, confident, knowledgeable, and physically fit students who seek responsibility and aim to make a difference in their community.
