The student body also reflects Rabun Gap’s mission to provide access to quality education regardless of a family’s ability to pay, with 78 percent of students receiving financial aid and scholarships.
“Rabun Gap continues to be blessed with tremendous growth and success as one of the nation’s top independent schools,” said Head of School Dr. Anthony Sgro. “I am looking forward to another great academic year. We have some of our most talented academic, athletic, and artistic students on campus this year. We also have an exciting development to celebrate — the spring opening of our new Community Dining Hall. It will be another historic, milestone year for Rabun Gap. ”
