Welcome to GPS
Explore All That Is Possible for Her
If your goals for your daughter include finding a school that cares about who she’ll become as much as what she’ll accomplish, we invite you to consider the unique advantages of a GPS education. After all, a school is much more than the campus on which it sits or the accolades of which it boasts. Sure, English and calculus are important—and we have incredible faculty whose lesson plans are legendary—but the intangibles of education are equally important. Who does your daughter want to be? GPS is uniquely designed to help her get there.

Flexible Dates
Step on campus and see for yourself why we are best for girls. Tours are led by Admission Counselors and student ambassadors. Your daughter is welcome to attend!
Visit & Learn
As you begin the process of selecting the school where your daughter will continue her education, we encourage you to fully explore all options. The decision your family makes for your daughter will have a lasting impact on her life, and the best way to ensure GPS is the right environment for her is to visit our campus, attend admission events, participate in webinars, and hear from current parents and students, as well as alumnae.

Academic and Non-Academic Services for Persons with Disabilities
The School remains committed to excellence in educational programming and acknowledges its obligation to ensure that no otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall, solely by reason of her disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. This includes both academic and non-academic services, such as counseling, extracurricular services, athletics, transportation, health services, recreational activities, clubs, and other activities. The School will also assess its ability to make reasonable accommodations to disabled individuals to permit such persons to participate in and enjoy the benefits of the School’s programs and activities so long as doing so does not fundamentally alter the nature of the School’s program. Individuals who seek an accommodation should contact Deborah Smith, Director of Human Resources, (423) 634-5440, dsmith@gps.edu, 205 Island Avenue, Chattanooga, TN 37405.
