From our Head of School

Welcome to the Greenwich Academy community! 

For close to 200 years, GA has fostered in girls and young women a joy for learning and the pursuit of excellence in any endeavor, be it academic, athletic, artistic. Our motto, Toward the Building of Character, is baked into the GA experience, a through line that spans divisions and disciplines. From her first Opening Day to her confident walk out of the Commencement tent, every GA girl is part of a caring and inclusive community that supports all aspects of student growth. 

Every day at GA is an adventure in curiosity, confidence, and character.

  • Lower Schoolers start their classroom journey complemented by a natural environment of woods, water, and open space that enhances their growth and discovery.
  • The Middle School is a place of exploration, where girls begin to engage a broader community within a truly supportive environment, while mastering the crucial skills necessary for learning and academics.
  • In Upper School, students immerse themselves in an abundance of opportunities, from a sports program that meets athletes at every level to a vast array of clubs. (Don’t see the one you want? Start it yourself!) And of course the curricular options available thanks to Coordination—a best-of-both-worlds Upper School partnership with Brunswick School—are beyond impressive.

Through it all, each student is supported in her emotional, social, and intellectual development by teachers and staff who model a passion for learning, respect for the individual, and commitment to the community.

Above all, we are a school that values relationships. We celebrate our entire GA community of students, faculty, staff, families, and alumnae. Of all the traditions that a school as old as ours naturally accrues, perhaps our proudest is a lifelong connection that transcends classroom and campus. Once a GA girl, always a GA girl. Once a GA family, you’re part of the GA community forever. It’s a special place. We invite you to come visit and see how Greenwich Academy can be part of your journey.

Go Gators!
