About the School

Georgetown Day School opened its doors in 1945 as the first integrated school in a segregated city. GDS was founded by seven change maker families who envisioned a school committed not only to academic excellence and educational innovation but also to respect and care for others. Believing that diversity is a critical foundation for the most transformational learning, they established a school where all children would be welcomed, celebrated, and challenged to be their best selves.

Today, the School’s philosophy and programs strongly reflect its roots. GDS fosters a community of belonging while lifting up every student’s unique gifts, building in each the capacity for compassion, leadership, and creating positive change. 1125 engaged and talented PK-12 students across three divisions love to learn and learn to change the world in GDS’s exciting urban campus with its outstanding facilities.

Recognized as one the most dynamic educational institutions in our capital city and nation, GDS today is in a uniquely attractive position, with a deeply-felt and lived history, clear mission, and genuine openness to the possibilities that lie ahead.
