Student Support
The Student Support Services department offers resources and information for parents and students in three distinct but interrelated areas: Learning, Health, and Counseling Services.
GDS Learning Resources
Georgetown Day School supports the individual learning needs of our students while maintaining our academic standards. Our team of learning specialists is a resource for students, parents, and faculty. We recognize that some students may need academic accommodations or enrichment to help them reach their academic potential.
Health Services at GDS
Georgetown Day School recognizes that there is a direct relationship between a student’s health and his or her ability to learn. Our health services team consists of a nurse on the Lower/Middle School campus and a nurse and a certified athletic trainer on the High School campus. The goal of the health services team is to ensure that students are safe, healthy and able to learn. In addition to working directly with students and their families, our health care professionals collaborate closely with our learning specialists, counselors, teachers, and coaches and serve as the liaisons between outside health care providers and school personal.
GDS Counseling Services
The primary responsibility of the Georgetown Day School Counselors is to provide emotional and social guidance and support for the school’s community with the interest of promoting an exceptional environment for learning, social responsibility, and childhood development.
