Germantown Academy Reviews
In lower school , having two teachers in each classroom allows for differentiated learning and individualized attention to all students. Teachers really know their students. In middle and upper school, dropping in to meet with teachers during free periods is highly encouraged and helps solidify teacher/student connections and learning. The teacher retention rate says a lot about the school. Most all stay 30-40 years!!!
I feel that my child had been in the best hands and has grown so much through the years socially, emotionally and of course, academically. GA is a very special place.
The social development was also impressive. I watched even the shyest students develop into confident middle schoolers in a very supportive and inclusive environment.
As a parent, I was always reassured that the teachers alway seemed to really enjoy their jobs and care deeply about the students. There is a real sense of community among the students, teachers, staff, and parents, which palpable during the pandemic years. Once the pandemic ended, the transition back to normal was pretty seamless.
I am very excited to watch my son grow into a young man, and I am so grateful we made this decision so many years ago.
The small class sizes are so awesome especially for kids that do better in smaller groups. The curriculum is robust and definitely prepares the students for college.
The grounds, technology and student spaces are state of the art. With 126 acres, there is so much of the beautiful campus to explore. The school offers a great variety of sports as well as student activities. Something for everyone. There are a good amount of parents, socials, and activities planned throughout the year as well. There really is a emphasis on community.
We are beyond blessed to be a part of the Germantown Academy community. I can’t say enough about this amazing school and it’s community.
