Any school can create a profile. GSS Approved adds structured review, confidential teacher feedback and a public verification trail.
A school’s reputation is built through more than its website and job advertisements. In a 2026 recruitment survey reported by Education Week, 65% of recruiters identified staff referrals as the most effective way to find high-quality teachers.
GSS Approved incorporates confidential teacher feedback into the review instead of relying only on information supplied by the school.

The school’s credential ID will connect to a public verification record showing the school name, credential status, issue date, expiry date, location and GSS profile link.
