Why Greensboro Day School

Greensboro Day School’s mission is to develop the intellectual, ethical, and interpersonal foundations students need to become constructive contributors to the world. GDS provides a safe learning environment, rigorous academic foundation, a personalized college placement process, and a priority on student safety and well-being to achieve these aspirational aims.

For more than 50 years, Greensboro Day School has been known as the most dynamic, comprehensive PreK-12 academic learning environment in the Triad. Our students are taught how to think--not what to think. We prepare them not only for college but for life in a global society. We are dedicated to cultivating a principled community of learners that welcomes diversity, including age, culture, gender, race, faith, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and ability.

We use the latest technology, a comprehensive curriculum, and a 65-acre campus for discovery. You’ll find teachers who build partnerships with our students and are fully invested in their development.

Whether you’re searching for character and leadership development, unsurpassed facilities, award-winning arts , or competitive athletics, GDS has all of that and more. Nationally recognized, GDS is ranked #1 Best K-12 Private, #1 Best Private High School, and #1 Best College Prep High School in Greensboro by Niche. And beyond our campus, the city of Greensboro and the surrounding area offers what many families want and need as they search for that perfect place to raise a family.

We are creating the future at Greensboro Day School. We invite you to join us on the journey by plugging into our weekly parent newsletter PawPrints, or learn about our 2,800 alumni who are constructive contributors around the globe.
