COVID-19 Protocols

Registering for and attending GFS admissions events conveys a shared expectation of complying with all school health and safety policies. Please note that GFS requires the COVID-19 vaccine for all of our students, faculty, and staff.

If your child is unwell in any way on the day before or day of an event, please contact the Admissions Office. This includes symptoms of fever, cough, runny nose, congestion, headache, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

GFS is currently a mask-optional campus, and visitors are encouraged to wear one at their discretion. We may ask visitors to mask while on campus if future Philadelphia Department of Health guidelines require us to change this policy. If we have more information to share about our COVID-19 protocols, we will be in touch with you as the date approaches.
