Sheridan School vs. Georgetown Day School

At Sheridan, learning is empowerment.  A vibrant K-8 progressive school with no more than 230 students, we intentionally develop in students an authentic desire to learn, to frame questions, to seek answers, to lead, to explore, and to create. This culture of intellectual and creative energy provides students with opportunities to find and build their voice, their passions, and their talents at an early age.

Our balanced approach to education in the elementary and middle school years sets our students on the path for finding joy in lifelong learning.

Challenge at Sheridan is not limited to the classroom.

Our 130-acre Mountain Campus provides students with an opportunity to move outside the comfort of their regular surroundings and experience new levels of challenge in nature - a perspective that plays a vital role in developing confidence and character.

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.

With our strong commitment to financial aid, an independent school tuition is affordable.
