[edit] Campus

The 143-acre campus has a chapel, science center, fine and performing arts center, large classroom building, and a dormitory. The athletic complex includes eight playing fields, a natatorium, a fieldhouse, and two NHL-sized ice rinks. The school's upper-level administration as well as development and business offices are located in the Tudor House, part of the Drury estate that the grounds are based upon.

Construction of a brand new athletic complex will begin around the end of the 2008-2009 school year.

[edit] Speech and Debate

The areas of speech and debate as well as drama have been special strengths of the school since the early 1990s. Gilmour Academy has won the Cleveland district championship in speech and debate every year since 1990. In 2006, the four person policy debate team was district champions by beating out teams seeded 1 through 4 in the state. For six consecutive years, Gilmour's Lancer News placed first in the Radio and Television Council of Greater Cleveland competition. Gilmour's Drama Club has earned a Superior Rating for 13 consecutive years from the Ohio Theater Alliance.

[edit] Technology

The school maintains approximately 400 computers, the majority of which run Microsoft Windows XP. Students have access to several computer labs as well as mobile laptop carts which can be utilized in classrooms.
