In this episode of Curious by Nature, Director of Admission Emily Glore sits down with GUS parent and Parent Association President Courtney Berg P'32, '34, '36 for a candid, thoughtful conversation about finding the right school — and the power of community once you do.

Courtney shares her family’s journey to GUS, what stood out during their search, and how intentional teaching, strong relationships, and a deeply human-centered approach to education have shaped her children’s experience. From growing confidence and meaningful friendships to the ways families show up for one another, this conversation offers an authentic look at what it feels like to be part of the GUS community.

They also explore the role of the Parent Association — what involvement really looks like (hint: it’s flexible, welcoming, and judgment-free), and why community at GUS is something families don’t just join, but help build together.
