Overview
Holy Trinity School is a Catholic, co-educational, elementary school (PreK-8) that is committed to the Jesuit traditions of academic excellence, the service of faith, and the promotion of justice.
Our community - school and parish families - seeks to develop students who will manifest these traditions in an awareness of self, a love of learning, and a desire to serve others. We prepare our students to act with initiative and integrity and to engage the world as a place in which God can found in all things.
GDS is a school where students love to learn, and learn to change the world. Georgetown Day School is a coed, preK-12, non-sectarian independent school in Washington, DC with small class sizes and a diverse school community.
Our comprehensive, innovative curriculum includes hands-on learning, honors and Upper Level classes, as well as advanced-level math and STEM courses.
An education is not just college prep and SAT scores. GDS teachers focus on providing the best education for each child, from elementary grades through high school.
The school performing arts program includes theater, dance, and music.
The athletics program offers competitive sports for student athletes, including cross-country, track, soccer, lacrosse, and crew/rowing.
