Welcome to The Grayson School
From our Head of School
A gifted mind passionately pursuing an idea is a wondrous thing to see, and at Grayson, we are deeply invested in cultivating our students’ intrinsic curiosity to motivate them to engage fully with their gifted education. We encourage them to try new things, to stretch themselves, to work hard, and to fail and try again.
Our highly-trained team is uniquely qualified to nurture the remarkable potential of these children. At Grayson, we do not believe there should be limits on how much, how quickly, or how deeply they can learn. Our curriculum and work are meaningful, complex, and worthy of our students’ abilities.
I invite you to explore The Grayson School through our website, and learn more by scheduling a tour with our Admissions team. You can meet our faculty and discover first hand what gifted children can do in an environment that sees and values who they are and feeds their voracious appetite for learning.
Warmly,
Melissa Bilash
Founder & Head of School

Our Mission and Values
The Grayson School provides gifted children a challenging, research-based education worthy of their intellect and their intrinsic desire to learn and think deeply. We serve as a valued resource for the gifted education community in Philadelphia and nationwide.
Shared values are the foundation of our school culture, guiding our work and shaping our relationships across the Grayson community.





THE GRAYSON DIFFERENCE
Grayson curriculum has been intentionally designed to meet the needs of gifted students. We offer them unparalleled opportunities to inspire, challenge, and foster their growth and development.
We provide our students a stimulating curriculum that pushes their boundaries and respects their unique learning paths. Just as importantly, at Grayson, your child will find a community of intellectual peers where individuality is celebrated and nurtured.
“We love the educational environment you’ve created where my kid’s unique gifts are understood, valued, and nurtured. It’s very important to us that she works at her own pace—whatever that is—and that she’s given work at her ability level.”
