Our website highlights information of interest to families who are considering a Georgetown Day School education for their children as well as to current GDS students, parents, staff, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, and friends. Please take a few minutes to explore what GDS has to offer. We hope that you find much that interests you.Georgetown Day School provides an educational program that fosters a love of learning while providing serious instruction in the academic disciplines, the arts, and physical education and athletics. Over the past 65 years, GDS has grown from a school of seven students to a pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade school with more than 1,000 students and a faculty of 165 on two separate five-acre campuses in Washington, DC.



While circumstances of today are not the same as those of 1945, the needs of children and the importance of an equitable and excellent educational environment are as compelling as they have ever been. GDS seeks to enroll students and families who are committed to the mission of the School and who will be positive and involved members of the community.Georgetown Day School does not separate preparation for college from preparation for life. The process of education instructs our students as powerfully as the educational information which is imparted. The School’s commitment to an education for character has made GDS unique and a model for others. We are proud of our history, the quality and breadth of our educational programs, and, most important, of the articulate, self-confident, and responsible citizens our students become.
