Riverbend School Competitors

Sidwell Friends School (SFS) is a PK-12, co-educational Quaker day school with campuses in Washington, DC and Bethesda, MD.

The Hill School prepares young people from across the country and around the world for college, careers, and life. Within a family school environment and a rigorous liberal arts curriculum, we challenge our young people to work hard; think and reason; be fulfilled; serve the common good; and be prepared to lead as citizens of the world, uniquely guided by our motto, “Whatsoever Things Are True.”

Georgetown Day School offers an educational program that fosters a love of learning while providing serious instruction in the academic disciplines, the arts, and physical education and athletics. Over the past 75 years, GDS has grown from a school of seven families to a pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade school with more than 1,000 students and a faculty of more than 300 on one unified campus in Washington, DC. While circumstances of today are not the same as those of 1945, the needs of children and the importance of an equitable and excellent educational environment are as compelling as they have ever been. GDS seeks to enroll students and families who are committed to the mission of the School and who will be positive and cooperative members of the community. Georgetown Day School does not separate preparation for college from preparation for life. The process of education instructs our students as powerfully as the educational information which is imparted. The School’s commitment to an education for character has made GDS unique and a model for others. We are proud of our history, the quality and breadth of our educational programs, and, most important, of the articulate, self-confident, and responsible citizens our students become.
