A Typical Day
"It's Fun! But Hard Work Too"
In the words of Al Hobart, GMVS Founder:
The demands placed on a GMVS student are great. In order to succeed, each student must learn how to best allocate their scarce resources; time and energy. By making good decisions and budgeting time wisely, GMVS students have enormous opportunity unfound elsewhere.
At GMVS each day is full and varied. In the fall and spring terms, breakfast is served at 7:00 a.m. and classes begin at 7:40 am and end at 6:00 pm with 2 physical training blocks daily. During the winter term, the first class is at 7:30 a.m. and is followed by ski training on the mountain until lunch. Classes then reconvene in the afternoon until 6:00 p.m. Throughout the year, mandatory day time study halls enable students to prepare work for their classes.
