Where We're From
Founded in 1967, Gaston Day School is a non-sectarian, college preparatory institution for grades
Pre-K through 12. Throughout our history, nearly 100% of Gaston Day School's classes have entered
four-year colleges and universities immediately upon graduation. Located in
Gastonia, North Carolina, the school serves communities in a five-county area: Gaston, Lincoln,
Cleveland, Mecklenburg and York counties. Enrollment is approximately 500 students.
Gaston Day School is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The
school is a member of the Southern Association of Independent Schools, the National
Association of Independent Schools, and the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools.
Each of the students on the team has completed (or is currently in) Honors Biology, Honors
Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, Honors Physics or some combination thereof.
