Joining the Sisterhood

AT GPS, WE BELIEVE STUDENTS THRIVE in a school designed for their success, and finding the right place for girls is vital to their social and emotional development. When it comes to building each class, there’s so much more to learn about a prospective student than her grades, test scores, and teacher recommendations. We meet each girl, learn more about her passions, strengths, interests, and challenges, and get to know her holistically. We provide ample opportunities for her and her family to learn more about our innovative program, competitive athletics, robust arts, leadership opportunities, and character development. And we encourage our incoming families to see and learn what GPS is all about!

Throughout the process, we help prospective students see themselves as GPS girls—members of a diverse community built upon a range of aptitudes, interests, and personalities. The strength of GPS comes from the fact that there is no one “GPS girl.” We build classes with mission-appropriate students that celebrate their differences as much as their similarities.

As we look forward to the new school year, we are thrilled to welcome our largest sixth-grade class in years—80 girls and growing! Kathryn Outlaw, Interim Head of Middle School, says, “We could not be more excited to usher in this new class of leaders, adventurers, athletes, artists, and passionate learners. We are confident in their abilities and know they will enliven our campus as they grow into young women ready to take on the world.”

Of course, whether a student joins GPS in sixth grade or her junior year, our goal remains the same: to enrich and educate her in an environment dedicated to the whole girl.
