Customized Tuition

 
Yes, we have a dynamic, comprehensive, and challenging academic program with unsurpassed facilities, but our real secret is in the interpersonal, ethical, and intellectual foundations we lay for your child’s future success. Access to our intentional model is now easier to obtain through Customized Tuition. Find the Tuition Calculator on this page and begin to explore the possibilities.

In an instant gratification world of Snapchat streaks, Facebook likes and participation medals, Greensboro Day School’s joyful, caring and trustworthy learning community stands apart.

For most children, future success is not rooted in the Quadratic Formula, memorizing the date of the Battle of Bull Run or the Periodic table, but how you manage time, relationships, and yourself. Success is not measured by where you attend college, it’s measured on how well you engage and contribute in teams, how you manage your digital citizenship, your empathy and service to others, and your respect towards those you meet along the way.

This preparation and foundation are why GDS is an educational leader in the Triad and why for 50 years families have invested in their children and Greensboro Day School.

"I chose, 13 years ago, and continue to choose Greensboro Day School for my girls first and foremost because GDS teaches them to be solid people as well as solid scholars. It prepares them not only for college, but for life outside of college. They are nurtured, challenged, supported and encouraged daily to be better than the day before. What more could I ask for?" 

Holly Jones, parent of Morgan '20 and Madi '25.

“I felt incredibly well-prepared to enter the college classroom after attending Greensboro Day School. At GDS, I learned good note-taking, reading comprehension, and research skills that prepared me for college-level work. I also learned how to be a responsible, motivated, and self-reliant student. I learned to take initiative, have faith in my abilities, and push myself to do my best. At the same time, I learned how to work collaboratively with my peers and to respect and value the ideas and perspectives that they have to offer. The combination of academic and interpersonal skills that GDS taught me has given me a definite advantage in the collegiate setting.”
