International Links
The school has built up links with a number of schools around the world, which include:
- The Gilman School Baltimore, USA.
- Gilman and St. Edward's operate a scholarship known as the Hardie Scholarship. One Lower Sixth boy from St. Edward's studies at Gilman during March/April and a Junior from Gilman studies at St. Edward's during June. The scholarship was created by Thomas G Hardie II and his wife Dee Hardie in the 1970s. Mr Hardie died on June 7th 2007. Gilman and St. Edward's have confirmed the scholarship will continue. The ties between Gilman and Teddy's were further strengthened in 2003 when the Gilman School choir sung at Teddy's as part of their UK tour and again in 2007 when the Teddy's choir sung at Gilman as part of their US Tour. St. Edward's held a joint concert with Gilman in March 2008 to celebrate the life of Mr Hardie.

Famous quotes containing the word links:
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
