Welcome from the Head of School

Dear Parents, 

At Girls Preparatory School, we celebrate each girl for the unique gifts she brings to our school, with programs and people in place to prioritize healthy connections and relationships. We foster a culture where she is known, she is heard, and she is empowered to use her voice. GPS focuses on a learner-centered approach, ensuring that each student's experience is personalized, authentic, and tailored to how she learns best.

As you visit the pages of our website, you’ll learn more about how we’ve designed every aspect of the GPS experience to be best for girls—from our academic, arts, athletic, and leadership programs to our emphasis on health and wellness and student support. If you are new to learning about the lasting impact of an all-girls education, I invite you to read more here, or delve into the research provided by the International Coalition of Girls Schools, of which GPS is a member school. 

In partnership with families, our faculty and staff offer a variety of perspectives from their experiences and bring many ideas and talents to both the girls and their colleagues. Every adult on campus supports our girls and thoughtfully plans and executes programming to best prepare them for their bright futures. Opportunities for girls to grow and develop the life skills necessary for success extend well beyond our beautiful campus through after-school activities, retreats, service projects, our coordinate program with our brother school McCallie, and more so students can be prepared for college and life. 

As a girls’ school alumna and a mother of three daughters, two of whom are recent GPS graduates, I invite you to explore the difference an all-girls school education can mean for your girl. There’s really no place quite like Girls Preparatory School, and I look forward to meeting you when you come for a campus tour or an event. See for yourself why GPS is best for girls. 

With great pride in our school,
