Mission & Philosophy
EXPERIENCING GA
At Germantown Academy, our mission is to educate our students to become good citizens and productive leaders in a global society. To achieve this mission, we provide a rigorous and exciting academic experience for students enrolled in Pre–kindergarten through Grade Twelve, a diverse community of families and teachers who come from a supportive communal experience built upon the philosophic underpinnings of trust, responsibility, and kindness. Our standards are high for intellectual, athletic, and artistic achievement as well as for the quality of interaction we expect to occur between individuals. We help our students discover and refine their talents, then encourage them to use their gifts in the service of others. Our goal is to have our graduates leave the Academy as confident, independent young people ready to face the challenges presented by higher education and the professional world beyond.

Learning Environment
At Germantown Academy we love to learn. Education is a process that never ends and our students are surrounded by life-long learners who serve as their mentors. Our teachers prize inquiry, are passionate about their subject areas and love working with students. Our students are encouraged to face challenges and take risks as they seek solutions. They learn that there is no one right answer. Our teachers connect with their students on a personal, intellectual and emotional level. They work with students in the classroom, in advisory, in clubs, on the field and on the stage. The bonds formed last far beyond graduation.
Visitors tell us they can feel the energy in the classes and hallways. I encourage you to visit GA and see the connections for yourselves.
