Mission

Gilman cites as its mission statement:
John Schmick introduced the concept of "The Five Pillars of Gilman" during his first year as headmaster. "The Gilman Five," as they are often called, are: Humility

Humility

Humility is the quality of being modest, and respectful. Humility, in various interpretations, is widely seen as a virtue in many religious and philosophical traditions, being connected with notions of transcendent unity with the universe or the divine, and of egolessness.-Term:The term "humility"...

, Honor, and Excellence

Excellence

Excellence is a talent or quality which is unusually good and so surpasses ordinary standards. It is also an aimed for standard of performance.-History:...

. When these school standards are mentioned during speeches, school assemblies, and the such, the emphasis almost always lies on the facet of honor as a part of each student's life (and its involvement in the community). There are posters displayed across the campus with the Gilman Five printed on them; their purpose is to remind students to "Be Gilman."

Academics

At the Upper School level, students are required to take courses in history, mathematics, English, science, and a foreign language each semester; an intramural or interscholastic sport each season; and a minimum of art, music, and religion instruction over four years. Students must also fulfill a community service requirement and may choose to participate in a range of extracurricular activities.

A number of foreign languages, English, history, and miscellaneous high-level courses permit cross-registration by students from two neighboring girls' schools: Bryn Mawr

The school offers numerous Advanced Placement-level courses, several through the tri-school collaboration. Cross-registration also allows for a variety of languages to be offered, which currently include French, Spanish, Latin, Greek, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, and German.

Athletics

Gilman is well-known for its tradition of athletic success. Since the year 2000, 12 Gilman varsity teams have won at least one conference championship. Overall, the school sponsors 16 sports; most teams have varsity and junior varsity programs, while some have fresh-soph and/or middle school squads.

Gilman is perhaps best-known for its success in football and lacrosse. The football team has won eight Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) "A" Conference championships in the last 11 seasons. The 2002 team finished 10–0 and was ranked 14th in the United States by USA Today's Super 25 high school football poll. That team featured the Associated Press's Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year in quarterback Ambrose Wooden and lineman Victor Abiamiri. Both players went on to star at Notre Dame, and Abiamiri now plays for the Philadelphia Eagles

. The 2005 team was ranked 12th in the nation in USA Today's Super 25 high school football poll.

The lacrosse team, led by coach and middle school history teacher Brooks Matthews, was ranked the #1 high school team in the United States by LaxPower at the conclusion of both the 2008 and 2009 seasons. The team has captured 15 "A" conference titles in MIAA

. The lacrosse program has produced many stars in college lacrosse such as Damien Davis, Ryan Boyle, Grant Zimmerman, Brian Carroll, and Barney Ehrmann.

During the 2005–06 school year, six Gilman varsity squads (football, golf, ice hockey, squash, tennis & track and field) won conference titles. In 2008–09, the volleyball team won its first MIAA title, while the squash and swimming teams also won conference championships.
