Admission

Welcome New Families

Dear New Graland Families,
 
I am so excited to welcome you to our community. Next year will be my 23rd year at Graland. I feel so grateful to the Graland community for how much it has helped me develop personally and professionally and equally grateful for how much Graland helped my two children who attended Graland grow as scholars, athletes, artists, and leaders. I look forward to partnering with you over the coming years to ensure that Graland provides your family a similar opportunity for growth.
 
On this website, you will discover many resources to help your transition into our community, including information about upcoming ways to meet other new parents and students. Beyond this website, we provide other sources to help guide you through the Graland experience, including informational events and an ambassador family. In addition to these supports, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the admission team and ask any question you may have.
 
Again, I enthusiastically welcome you to the Graland community and look forward to seeing you on campus soon.
 
Sincerely,
 
Josh Cobb
Head of School
