Girls Preparatory School

GPS

Come see why GPS is Best for Girls: Schedule a tour!

At Girls Preparatory School, our vision is to celebrate each girl for the unique gifts she brings to our school, on campus and off, prioritizing healthy connections and relationships, fostering a culture where she is known, she is heard, and she is empowered to use her voice. This culture of acceptance and belonging nurtures her and lifts her up in mind, body, and spirit so that she can find her place and discover her potential with confidence and joy for dynamic engagement within a rapidly changing world. As you begin the journey 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 future, 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. Through the admission season, we will get to know you and your daughter through a comprehensive process with the ultimate goal of understanding what is important to your family. We can’t wait to meet you!
