GA is a PreK-12, coed, nonsectarian day school in Fort Washington, PA
"My GA education means so much to me. Beyond the caliber of teaching and things that I learned, what I took away from GA are the relationships with fellow students and, in particular, my teachers, that I built during my time there. My teachers didn't just show up to collect a paycheck; they showed up to make a difference and to invest their time in me, allowing me to grow as a student, especially at such a volatile time. From ages 12 to age 18, especially as a female, is a crazy time of life. But these teachers were really there for me, and that made all the difference."
