Application Process

GFS welcomes your application for admission. We seek students who are bright and eager, who demonstrate the potential to engage deeply with our intellectually rigorous academic program, and who will contribute to our vibrant school community.

We want every student at GFS to be successful. To ensure a good match between applicants, their families and our school's programs and philosophies, we attempt to get to know you and your child in several ways throughout the admissions process. Our Admissions staff is here to help you. Please feel free to call us if you have any questions.

In keeping with the Quaker testimony of Equality and our school’s commitment to diversity, Germantown Friends School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, religion, creed, political beliefs, or citizenship status in the administration of application for admissions or financial aid.

Children applying to our Early Childhood Program participate in a modified process that is designed to address and reflect their cognitive and socioemotional development. ECP children are reassessed in the PreK year during the Kindergarten application process.
