Welcome to Greensboro Day School!

Words cannot fully express the enthusiasm and pride I feel in writing you as Greensboro Day’s Head of School. From the moment I stepped on campus, I knew that I found a special place where relationships are the heart and soul of the institution. To experience this caring and inclusive community, I invite you to visit our campus to see our dedicated teachers in action curating a culture of curiosity and respect all the while encouraging our students to find their own voice.

Our core values of wisdom, community, and respect are the underpinnings of a Greensboro Day education. Beginning with a two-year-old preschool experience that balances classroom learning with creative play, an internship experience tops off the senior year. Students of all ages and grades are challenged, encouraged, and cared for on a beautiful 65-acre campus dotted by a learning pond, a garden, a performing arts theatre, a sports complex, athletic fields, a media center, a cafe, and more.

We believe strongly that the next generation of leaders will require the skills necessary to create, innovate, and collaborate as they enter a world and workforce that will demand more of them in more ways than any other time in our history. Our students learn to think and adapt so that they can become consummate problem solvers - a necessity for success in today’s interconnected world. Greensboro Day School is committed to being a fundamentally relevant institution that creates compassionate leaders ready to face the challenges of an ever-changing world.

It is both a privilege and pleasure to lead Greensboro Day forward and I welcome you to campus so I can share my vision with you in person. Thank you for taking the time to explore our school. Greensboro Day School is on the move and I invite you to join me on this journey.

With Bengal Pride,
