History

Gill St. Bernard's is the result of the merger of two Somerset Hills institutions — St. Bernard's School for boys in Gladstone and The Gill School for girls in Bernardsville.

St. Bernard's School was founded in 1900 by the Rev. Thomas A. Conover as a school for farm and village boys in which they could be educated as they learned a trade.

The Gill School was established by Miss Elizabeth Gill in 1934 as the Wychwood School. Her educational philosophy was based on the value of the individual and she sought, through small classes and direct teacher-student relationships, to establish a "rich school experience" for the pupils. The physical development of the individual was not neglected — at least two hours each day was spent out-of-doors. The first graduating class consisted of three students.

In 1972 St. Bernard's School combined with Miss Gill's School to become Gill St. Bernard's. At this time the religious affiliation of St. Bernard's was dropped. The new school had lower grades on the old Gill campus in Bernardsville and upper grades at St. Bernard's in Gladstone.

The two divisions consolidated in 1996 in Gladstone. Today, there are three divisions — a Lower, a Middle and an Upper School &mdahs; located on 72 acres which span the Somerset-Morris County line between the Boro of Peapack-Gladstone and Chester Township. The school today consists of sixteen buildings which include separate buildings for the Upper, Middle and Lower schools, two athletic centers, an art center and three administrative buildings. There is also a field lodge, five playing fields, a track, five tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool. Chester Township is a township located in USA. As of the 2000 census, the township had a total population of 7,282. ...
