Middle School Info Night on December 3
Current GSA 4th and 5th Grade parents (rising 5th and 6th Graders) are invited to our Middle School Information Night on Tuesday, December 3 from 6:30-8:00 PM! A GSA education truly culminates in the Middle School experience, as all the work done in Lower School provides students the foundation they need to take off and soar in our rigorous core subjects, music and arts program, and Social Emotional framework. Come and learn more about the entire arc of our Middle School program and how it all drives towards our mission of developing confident young women who lead intellectually vibrant and fulfilling lives. Ultimately, we believe a young woman's place is anywhere she wants to be, and a good education is the best way to get there. Come see how GSA's Middle School program prepares your daughter to get to where she wants to go, in high school and beyond!

This year, we are also inviting prospective families for the first time. If you have a friend who is interested in GSA's one-of-a-kind Middle School program, please invite them!
We will also be hosting a smaller event for prospective Middle School students while the parents participate in the information session. This event is not intended for current students. Current GSA students will have a Middle School Fair during the school day, also held on December 3. |
