Everything is fairly decent until advisory lessons. The school would constantly push their ideology onto students, indoctrinating them, and should students dare disagree the student is for some reason crazy! Focus on learning not indoctrinating

Not as "accepting" as they advertised...
Gemini isn't the best option. Most of the faculty there are fine but the administration could use some changes. There are multiple things wrong with it, and from what I seen, I wouldn't want this for anyone else.
Not only that but they also aren't fair. They claim to be accepting of all, welcoming anyone and being kind to all, however their actions speak louder than their words. For starters when I attended, the assistant principal of the 8th grade acted more like a dictator than an educator. When I was a student, and I would speak to her in her office she wouldn't let me finish just one sentence. She constantly cut me off and often raised her voice at me. Not only did she do that to me when I was a student, she did that to my parents just for asking a question about what exactly happen to me. This behavior absolutely contradicts their teachings about not talking while others are speaking. Not only that but me and my friends got death threats from a fellow student. That same assistant principal told me it was my fault. It included a lot of victim blaming and I was told to just "let it go". Elaborating further on the victim blaming, I was told I got what I deserved. When the student who sent the death threats got confronted, she was told something different and I was once again blamed.
These aren't all the things that went down at this school, but these are two very imperative things that you should hear about before enrolling your children into this school.
