Georgetown Day School

Georgetown Day School (GDS), founded in 1945 as Washington DC's first non-segregated school, is a progressive independent co-educational school serving Pre-K through Grade 12 in the Georgetown neighbourhood. With approximately 1,050 students and accreditation from the Middle States Association, GDS is recognised nationally for its commitment to diversity, equity, and academic excellence. The school offers a challenging college-preparatory curriculum with over 20 AP courses, a nationally acclaimed debate programme, and strong arts and athletics. Georgetown Day School was founded on principles of social justice and human dignity; these values infuse every aspect of school life and attract Washington's most civic-minded families, including those of diplomats, journalists, and government leaders. Graduates regularly attend Harvard, Yale, Brown, and other elite universities. The school's new state-of-the-art campus, opened in 2021, provides world-class facilities for 21st-century learning.
